lyrics

Pretty sound, you best get runnin'
They're coming to make hell for you
Your sister she got stoned for singing
And they got a ransom out for you

Seems music makes for bad production
When every time it swallows you
So corner daylight, curse the twilight
and do those things you want to do

Here we sit with headaches, mouths on mute
ghosts of echoes torturing our every move
And no one dares to sing, for fear is afoot
The law of blood is in place so melody stays put

Lock the door to your apartment
with headphones, records, books to read
It's a death by playing dumb for drunkards
when you see the things they'll never see

Seems silence only makes you older
when everyone is sound asleep
So write it down and play it louder
It has to wake a thousand dreams

The paperboy wore headphones before dawn
as he spread the morning paper with the news
that they just found a way to make more time
of our silly morning, sunny afternoon

Don't let it go too soon
Don't let it go too soon
Don't let it go too soon
