Entrusted tendencies and vices

From the elevator

From the usual

To be a deviator

No form to fill

No way to cancel

Go right ahead

I’d rather be in my head

Chorus 1

Get away, inside my car

Drive away, I’m alive inside my car

One way twice as far

Getting away inside my getaway car

Verse 2

You can get over this fabrication.

If you wanted, you can get over.

Just like oblivion but somehow orthopedic.

Just leave yourself, to everyone else.

Chorus 2

Get away, inside my car.

Drive away, I’m alive inside my car.

One way twice as far.

Getting away inside my getaway car.

Verse 1

What makes you want to realign?

I want to know.

What make you want to just resign?

I want to know.

It seems more likely to be true maybe to be me instead of you.

What makes you want to reproduce?

I want to know.

What makes you want to disposses?

I want to know.

I guess it’s a matter of degree

And now it’s you instead of me.

It’s changing your voice and resetting all the tones

With your own

New way to deal with your only disposition

If you want over this you must ingest.

You always get your way.

Please go on the whole thing is hopeless,

I’m always in your way.

Verse 2

Persuaded by unexpectation.

And undermined by selection.

Rings around my eyes she locks.

My calculator watch into its little black box.

You go on I know you’re honest,

You always get your way.

Please go on the whole thing is hopeless,

I’m always in your way.

Bridge

I skipped the parts about revolving doors,

And all the things that keep me inside.

I skipped the parts to accelerate,

all the things that keep me inside.

Chorus 3

You go on I know you’re honest,

You always get your way.

Please go on the whole thing is hopeless,

I’m always in your way.

It was like his wife

They had reasons that they took,

and were denied

You ask for too much,

You need too much

Why can’t you leave me alone?

Stop the ringing.

We’re still friends because everything is fine.

In the photo booth picture,

Of course It’s going to fall through.
