Death Cab for Cutie - 20th Century Towers |
|
|
|
We'll correct collegiate mistakes |
|
A shower of formal ideals completely soused |
|
The heart's on our sleeves |
|
As they drowned we could hear them screaming |
|
"Oh, what a tragic way to see our final days." |
|
|
|
I attempt to talk up the town |
|
"The answers are in the arches of the 20th Century towers |
|
And in comfortable cars in motion." And yet it still remains |
|
This incessent refrain: |
|
"You're just like the rest: Your restlessness makes you lazy." |
|
|
|
Keeping busy is just wasting time |
|
And I've wasted what little he gave me (all around) |
|
I know the conscious choice was crystal clear |
|
To clear the slate of former years |
|
When I sang softly in your ear and tied these arms around you |
