[Verse 1]
The memories don't fade
Surprisin' fate for days
You elegantly wasted
Before you lost your spark
Took acid in the park
We're livin' in a basement
[Pre-Chorus]
Now is it strange I can't connect?
It isn't strange, but I could check
Walked around to where we kept the box of wires, and lately
[Chorus]
I know once it's lost it's never found
I need it now
The grid is buried in the ground
Hopelessly down
[Verse 2]
I read the parking rules
As Amsterdam unspooled
And trucks sped on ephedrine
The things we used to see
The sandhogs in the street
The chickens in her bedroom
[Pre-Chorus]
Now is it strange I can't connect?
It isn't strange, but I could check
Walked around to where we met the first time, overwhelmed, and
[Chorus]
I know once it's lost it's never found
I need it now
The grid is buried in the ground
Hopelessly down
[Break]
(Need just a sec')
[Chorus]
I know once it's lost it's never found
I need it now
The grid is buried in the ground
Hopelessly down
[Break]
(Need just a sec')
[Verse 3]
A country asked in June
It's happenin' too soon
Your book of Revelations
We can't unmake the bed
We used the chair instead
And called it a vacation
