Lyrics

Damages!

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Settling in my body

And the body settles into the bed

And then the bed settles into the grit familiar

Of the damages we put it

I need drive

Otherwise I might dance in the traffic

I'll take two quick shots of the system crystals

A medicine if you have it

Do you have it?

I'm in a settled place sometimes

Where I can't stop touching my face

It's probably just a miracle approaching me

That smoke will erase

What am I selling today?

I can't track the kickback

I want my bucket of tricks back

'Cause without it I just cannot relax

Can someone please call the police?

I can't compete with your damages

I cannot collect, I cannot collect

I cannot collect

Can someone please call the police?

I'm falling out of my seat

I'm getting nothing, I'm going nowhere

I cannot collect, I cannot collect

Betsy is out crazy

Why do we fall so easily?

It's like a deep sheet haunting the room

Matching the walls of the waiting room

I like how you can sleep anywhere

I like the lines you throw me

I like the way you lie

Ad how you kiss me like you know me

Sound the alarms and call the horns

I don't see the harm in charming damages

I cannot collect, I cannot collect

I cannot collect

Someone please call the police

I can't repeat all these damages

I cannot collect, I cannot collect

Someone please call the police

I'm falling out of my seat

I'm getting nothing, I'm going nowhere

I cannot collect, I just cannot collect
