lyrics

No line keep me straight
No time but it's not late
Though we're scraping off our plate

Old Jack from my Kodak
We never thought of going back
But we were always living, yeah

Celluloid and buzzing lights
We flew to them every night
But we never stopped short, we just
Clipped our burnt hair off and went to sleep

And I guess that's our parents shouting but
We can't do shit about it
Just let our senses run without
Someone will catch them

I'm shaking like an earthquake
Making mountains

Thin lines and tight jeans
Torn by people and machines
Not much dust falls inbetween

But if the pattern's fucked I can relate
Every turn I take is straight
You've got some friends, they're on their way
