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 don’t 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 december’s end

all our evaluations are in

 the lowland’s goal

 is less than low

 it’s 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

 we’d run (run)

 and fall into the river

Chorus 2

(2:09)

 we’d 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 we’re moving

 stereo was screaming

(2:36)

Chorus 3

(2:56)

 we’ll 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 don’t get caught dancing

 even if you’re drinking

 don’t get caught dancing
