Romantics of State

Subway romantics for the antics of state

You think a kiss kills a lie

I know Marcel is a spy

I know Francesca's a spy

Then again so am I

I'll fucking burn the scarf he wears

I want to know which way your love combs his hair

A dirndl dress, you don't play fair

So play it cool as we play flash drive or dare

A city second

Fool's gold

No one has and thinks they sold

In a world

Where nothing's true

And to be still is still a strange taboo

I'd miss my train for you

So go the chances lost on keepers of fate

A broken bell, a chime too late

Think you can't hear so here you'll wait

All you keep is spinning plates

I lost a colleague to the Caspian Sea

Who knew too much, never knew me

Neither do I, that was lifetimes ago

The more you are the less you know

A city second

Fool's gold

No one has and thinks they sold

In a world

Where nothing's true

And to be still is still a strange taboo

I'd miss my train for you

You made me miss a Q

I made you miss a war

We drank second avenue

You showed me what lipstick's for

I spy bionic birds

You spot a shooting star

Go on make a wish

I guess here is where we are

Here is where we are

Here is where we are

A city second

Fools' gold

No one has and thinks they've sold

In a world

Where nothing's true

And to be still is still a strange taboo

I'd miss my train for you
