Intro
(0:04)
Verse 1
(0:08)
half of all our lives are spent
encouraged by embarrassment
we hold our heads and stay asleep
and cannot hear
in case nobody called
Chorus 1
(0:29)
follow the prim ones
and sit on your hands
watch your step dont hardly move
speak in hushed tones
till they bring on the ending
they bring on the ending
as we file to get outside
with all the same coats on
Verse 2
(0:56)
here it is decembers end
all our evaluations are in
the lowlands goal
is less than low
its good (good)
so easy to have met them
(1:16) [ Same as Verse 1 ]

(1:32)
Verse 3
(1:49)
august light the weightless fall
the hold of trucks could carry us all
the hot exhaust
the thoughtless sleep
wed run (run)
and fall into the river
Chorus 2
(2:09)
wed meet up at night
pretty late by the falls
talk too fast without regret
with headlights and stars
it was brighter than the daylight
bodies all backlight
unconscious though were moving
stereo was screaming
(2:36)
Chorus 3
(2:56)
well settle for stares
now un-glide with our hands
the basement is where we will live
and stick to the crowds
without ever speaking
we want it that easy
and dont get caught dancing
even if youre drinking
dont get caught dancing
