Like batteries we die, like rivers we dry
Nothing stands still
This was my favorite song on one of my favorite albums
Dont forget to capo the first fret
Lyrics
We might be in for a late night
Stuck in a lava flow of brake lights
I can hear a rattling bass drum
Driving back to where it came from
Set back, Ohh
I shop, therefore I am the cause
Protect me from what I was
Getting the hang of it (8x)
Timing is everything (6x)
I'm at your feet
Where critters meet
Who should be asleep and not
Crossing roads or highways
In the afterlife of supercities,
Rapidly devouring it's outskirts
It's neon octopus arm
Redecorating late at night
Robot game for kids who hate sports
Mothers crying at the airport
Fighting the dreams you left behind to-do
Waving goodbye, your young heart cries for you
Set back, Ohh
You're finding it hard
To get very far
We were born waiting in life
Grabbing the future by the eyes
Getting the hang of it, Getting the hang of it
Timing is everything, Timing is everything
Getting the hang of it, Timing is everything
Getting the hang of it, Timing is everything
Timing the hang of it
Getting is everything
Getting the time of it
Everything hanging is
Hanging the getting of
Timing the everything
Like batteries we die
Like rivers we dry
We fuel and recharge the humans and cars
My fun, my sun
Be my homework done
Where did you go?
You were my ride home
Is that what we want?
Is everything shot?
Is that what you ask for?
'Cause that's what we got
Nothing stands still
Nothing stands still
