Album: Pre-Earthquake Anthems

7 Minutes

just how long will these days take
waiting for an earthquake
seems one already came
when the buses are electric
you don't gotta be so quick
writing up your name
cause in the plate-glass city here
we build things pretty, dear
they all go down in flames
and all your bleeping and glitching
won't sound so bitchin
if time keeps on the same.
new friends to make
going away
hope you can stay
so we can say

leave the party for a joyride
cause baby time is on our side
or so we'd like to claim
can't believe we've gotta take down
all the dudes who break down
it's something in the rain
and bout your friend in the coffin
babe it don’t happen that often
don’t hang your head in shame
cause all your popping and locking (?)
you rollin and rockin (?)
might still, might still remain.
new friends to make
going away
hope you can stay
so we can say
(repeat)
