Lyrics
Pressed the seven sequenced silver panic buttons The distress calls that fall on a distracted short-wave signal A metronome timed to my panic stricken breathing And a pulse conducted by our dying lines You said my heart sounded like a payphone in the rain Distorted, distant, scrambled and desperate Baby, I swear to god tonight I am sober It's the reception between us that's failing Everything's coming out all frenzied and confused She's got what it takes to make collapsing a habit And a dance out of a tantrum fit (it's tragic but I am sobering up) Pick up the phone Tonight I feel like the hero of a rusting war My touch has the timing and precision of a car wreck No use translating the trembles They're symptoms of repetitive testing for fluctuation If I come back home, I am bringing back the bends So give me a kiss. let me taste the reptilian appeal Say it again baby. does it turn you on? does it get you hot? I get a little hysterical sometimes The panic you shouldn't have been so sentimental All that kicking and screaming Everything I touch starts peeling We malfunction like machines Get up off the floor and answer the phone I want to be a big star Didn't want to touch so hard Open the door I am your deviant satellite, an orbit defected by the ballast of words You're the reason for collisions I am face down like a sailor washed up under your window Tonight is a shipwreck Navigating through disorder Now every electric star hums like a telecaster How punk rock is that? You're so oblivious Baby, you're my oblivion
