lyrics

precisely what would you like to do?
everything that i ever wanted to change
arrange
the outer space brigade

it feels as i’ve grown older
the world around grows colder
still..
the pills
warm and happy

my young shadow is holding me down, underwater
my young shadow is cutting the brakes, on my future
it don’t feel right, it don’t feel right, to me

a fast food cup thrown from a pickup truck
inconsiderate reckless selfish little (what?)

if the new disease should claim me
i’ll watch your stocks go crazy

the bugs
the drugs
i feel no love

my young shadow is holding me down underwater
my young shadow is cutting the brakes on my future
it don’t feel right, it don’t feel right, to me

our silhouettes, they stretch, under street lamps
our bicycle reflectors, burn in the headlights
my———
my young shadow is holding me down
