Track eight on Ezra Furman’s third solo album, Perpetual Motion People, “Tip of a Match” is a raucous anthem for restlessness.
Musically, it matches its lyrical content, suggesting spontaneity, excitement and, central to the album, the idea of Furman’s need for Perpetual Motion.
[Intro]
I like those sounds
Turn the lights off
[Verse 1]
I saw a billboard advertising God
I climbed the ladder, I saw all the ways
That this city was flawed
I hemmed and hawed, I sold my body
So my brain could eat
But I will not admit defeat
I will not admit defeat
I will not
[Verse 2]
Apocalypse was
Supposed to happen before this song
We're all grown up now
I think that time's gone on too long
The tide is strong
There's nothing wrong
With being swept out to sea
But I will not admit defeat
I will not admit defeat
I will not
[Outro]
If you feel like the tip of a match
If you feel like the tip of a match
If you feel like the tip of a match
If you feel like the tip of a match
Then strike yourself on something
Rough
