[Intro]
Lie, lie, lie, blinded
[Verse 1]
On the left side, a parking attendant sleeps
Selling space and time
On the right side, a parking attendant sleeps
Selling space and time
[Pre-Chorus]
They have grasped the concept of property
Understand that lengths of time can be twisted
Into someone's monetary advantage
They have grasped the concept of property
Understand that lengths of time can be twisted
Into someone's monetary advantage
[Chorus]
But, I can see myself
In that building that stands across from me
Reflecting in the sky
You can see yourself
Swim along with giant whales down the street
Reflecting in the sky
[Verse 2]
On sunny days, the people on the beach, like ants in my food
They must have closed the mall
Here comes Whitey to exploit the simple pleasures nature gave me
Then, try to tax them all
[Chorus]
But, I can see myself
In that building that stands across from me
Reflecting in the sky
You can see yourself
Swim along with giant whales down the street
Reflecting in the sky
I can see myself
In that building that stands across from me
Reflecting in the sky
You can see yourself
Swim along with giant whales down the street
Reflecting in the sky
[Post-Chorus]
I can see myself (I can see myself)
In that building that stands across from me (I can see myself)
Reflecting in the sky
(It's me in there)
You can see yourself (You can see yourself)
Swim along with giant whales down the street (You can see yourself)
Reflecting in the sky
(Hey, look, it's you)
[Break]
I'm letting go
It's scaring me
I'm letting go
It's scaring me
I'm letting go
It's scaring me
[Verse 3]
Lay in the yard, curled in a ball
Nails in your mouth, keys still in the car door
Face in the dirt, smells more than clean
Synapses tapped, you're well out
[Chorus]
On the side of the house, it's burned in the ground
That secret code, that signal go
There's a stain on the grass that's calling us home
You lie inside for the transistor send
[Bridge]
My heart skips a beat
My heart skips a beat
[Chorus]
On the side of the house, it's burned in the ground
That secret code, that signal go
There's a stain on the grass that's calling us home
You lie inside for the transistor send
[Verse 4]
Lie, lie, lie, blinded
Lie, lie, lie, blinded
Out of reach, out of touch
Out of ink, out of kindness (Lie)
Never hazing new guys (Lie, lie, blinded)
Out of teeth, out of thought
Out of time, out of life
(Lie, lie, lie, blinded) Like cattle grazing your mind
[Verse 5]
On the way to the car
On the head of the stone
On the edge of the lake
On the end of the joke
On the crack of the floor
On the slab of the day
On the dent of the face (On the underside)
On the mind of the cop (I'm letting go)
On the scar of the rat
On the last of the calls (On the underside)
On the rest of the doc (I'm letting go)
On the smile of the kid
(On the underside, I'm letting go)
[Outro]
I'm letting go, letting go
It's scaring me
I'm letting go, letting go
It's scaring me
It's scaring me
Break, break
Break, break
Break, break
Break, break
I'm gonna break
I'm gonna break
I'm gonna break
(Pick me up, take me home) I'm gonna break
I'm gonna break (Get me out of here, please)
I'm gonna break
(Pick me up, take me home) I'm gonna break
I'm gonna break (Get me out of here, please)
I'm gonna break
(Pick me up, take me home) I'm gonna break
I'm gonna break (Get me out of here, please)
I'm gonna break
Pick me up, take me home (I'm gonna break)
Get me out of here, please (I'm gonna break)
Get me out of here, please
