Lyrics
[Verse 1]
A restricted area
Shaped like a petunia
Thank God you know your ways
It's on your mind
It's on all the time
[Verse 2]
And I find it hard to explain
What would you trade me for?
This girl's playing hula hoop
Under the malicious
Winter solstice
[PreChorus]
Turn the lights on
Find me a narrative
Something positive
This requiem played a few times before
I heard it once
So I'm not sure
[PreChorus]
On the phone, "I told you"
Why open your eyes to go to bed?
Drive straight to the ocean
And see what we won't find out
Even the righteous beheaded their loved ones
[Chorus]
Now it's hard to connect
But the world's unchained
And soon
It'll be public domain
It's too hard to remain
Astute
[Chorus]
But I will stay
If you're detained
With you
I'll wash my hands
Until it rains
Through you
[Verse 3]
Keeping the lights on
Obliged to the bygones
Thank God you know your ways
If this time it's true
Why bother reeling you?
[Bridge]
All this fine jewelry
Look at this diamond shaped out of glass
I'll try to make this ruby shine nice
I'm trying to make a living
If that's something that you don't mind
Fine
Did you ever think it could have been in our lifetime?
[PreChorus]
So give me a ride home
Find me a narrative
Something positive
This requiem played a few times before
[PreChorus]
Phone, "I told you"
Why open your eyes to go to bed?
Drive straight to the ocean
And see what we won't find out
Even the righteous beheaded their loved ones
[Chorus]
Now it's hard to connect
But the world's unchained
And soon
It'll be public domain
It's too hard to remain
Astute
[Chorus]
But I will stay
If you're detained
With you
I'll wash my hands
Until it rains
Through you
