Bring On The Ending

Half of all our lives are spent

Encouraged by embarrassment

We hold our heads

And stay asleep and cannot hear

In case nobody called

We'll follow the prim ones

And sit on your hands

Watch your step, don't hardly move

Speak in hushed tones

Till they bring on the ending

They bring on the ending

As we file to get outside

With all the same coats on

Here it is, December's end

And our evaluations are in

The lowland's goal is less than low

It's good, good

Easy to have met them

August light, the weightless fall

The hold of trucks could carry us all

The hot exhaust, the thoughtless sleep

We'd run, run

And fall into the river

We'd meet up at night

Pretty late by the falls

Talk too fast without regret

With headlights and stars

It was brighter than the daylight

Bodies all backlit

Unconscious though we're moving

Stereo is screaming

We'll settle for stares

Now un-glide with our hands

The basement is where we will live

And stick to the crowds without ever speaking

We want it that easy

And don't get caught dancing

Even if you're drinking

Don't get caught dancing
