Lyrics for Lay Low for the Letdown

You looked like you were sleeping Waiting days for the twenty-two Come on We'll grab a chariot Come on We'll write a soundtrack Quarter til two, the night's ending We stand where no Romans dared to stand Shut up You might sink ships Shut up You'll lose your gold tooth We'll testify and we will declare Daydreams pile up on the interstate where The arch there is still a square And we'll jump if you dare But please don't dare us You said, that you were loaded I know, cuz I think I was loaded too Come on We'll wait for holidays Come on We'll curse our weekdays One dollar well sings the chorus Something a little little bigger than small Shut up The kids make out Shut up And watch the world spin God damn the commies wherever they are We need someone to blame for closing this bar And the neon fades like a star And we'll wish on that star The week goes faster The conversation ends And the drugs start to fade On the palm, deserts drift Martians parade And they will attack, and we'll laugh It's alright, it's ok It don't matter today It's all easy, it's cool It's alright, it's ok It don't matter tonight It's all easy
