lyrics

Watched it burn
Just another season's turn of events had to end
Had to try
to distort the gleam in your eye, asking why
Analyze, analyze, analyze
til you're happy to fall for the hard sell
in an unmade bed at the Harrison Hotel
with blurry eyes and aching tongue
from eating crow, just so you know--
They'll want you to fall in line and be done with it
They'll want you to turn off time and be done with it
They'll want you to freeze your life
til you fall for the hard sell
in an unmade bed at the Harrison Hotel
with blurry eyes and aching tongue
from eating crow, just so you know

(You lace up your boots,
rip the hands off the clock face
You said 'if they want to stop time,
there's a right way,'
but falling undressed into wrong
just feels so good
You buried the last of your love in the driveway
the last time you left Mom and Dad,
so delight me as to how you think this should start
and where it should end)

They'll want you to fall in line
They'll want you to turn off time
They'll want you to freeze your life
and that's how you'll stay alive
