|
Kick it off |
|
with a record time. |
|
Tie-breaking lullabies. |
|
By then you'll sing it, |
|
Can you sing it? |
|
Hopes galore, |
|
1985, before the starting line. |
|
But now we bring it, |
|
Can you bring it? |
|
I thought I could write about anything, |
|
but you cut me off, |
|
forbidding using your name. |
|
Your letter's full of code, |
|
I haven't figured out. |
|
And what you heard about |
|
isn't adding up the amount you spent. |
|
Uninviting. |
|
You can hold a candle to the city. |
|
I'm watching all your bridges burn. |
|
Bad timing. |
|
Either better pull yourself together, |
|
or fall apart while waiting your turn. |
|
So turn me off when the lights go down. |
|
Sing me a song that'll put me to sleep. |
|
Nightly routine, dream your night on the town. |
|
Hold in all your thoughts. |
|
I don't talk when I'm out. |
|
Kick it off |
|
with a record time. |
|
Tie-breaking lullabies. |
|
By then you'll sing it, |
|
Can you sing it? |
|
Hopes galore, |
|
1985, before the starting line. |
|
But now we bring it, |
|
Can you bring it to life? |
|
Kick it off |
|
with a record time. |
|
Tie-breaking lullabies. |
|
By then you'll sing it, |
|
Can you sing it? |
|
Hopes galore, |
|
1985, before the starting line. |
|
But now we bring it, |
|
Can you bring it? |
|
All I ever wanted was to keep you to myself, |
|
but you're the talk of the town. |
|
Our clever story's so long. |
|
Farewell. |
|
I'll leave you living a lonely night and |
|
You could hold a candle to the city. |
|
I'm watching all your bridges burn. |
|
Bad timing. |
|
Either better pull yourself together, |
|
or fall apart while waiting your turn. |
|
Turns out, we didn't go down. |
|
I'll sing you a song, make you wish it was deep. |
|
Typical girl in a typical town. |
|
Lesson of the day is what I'm really about. |
|
Bada da daa, da dada da da. |
|
Ba da da da da, da da da da da. |
|
Da da da da, da dada da da. |
|
Da da da da da, da da da da da. |
|
I was only under the impression |
|
We were racing for nothing, |
|
but nothing turned out to be |
|
a better life than nothing less than |
|
what I'm leaving behind |
|
and what I'm putting behind me. |
|
I thought I could write about anything. |
|
I thought I could write about anything. |
|
You could only hold me for a number of days, |
|
but we're over now that I'm on my way. |
|
Kick it off |
|
with a record time. |
|
Tie-breaking lullabies. |
|
By then you'll sing it, |
|
Can you sing it? |
|
Hopes galore, |
|
1985, before the starting line. |
|
But now we bring it, |
|
Can you bring it to life? |
|
Kick it off |
|
with a record time. |
|
Tie-breaking lullabies. |
|
By then you'll sing it, |
|
Can you sing it? |
|
Hopes galore, |
|
1985, before the starting line. |
|
But now we bring it, |
|
Can you bring it to life? |
|
To life, to life. |
|
Bada da daa, da dada da da. |
|
Ba da da da da, da da da da da. |
|
Da da da da, da dada da da. |
|
Da da da da da, da da da da da. |
