Lyrics
Company Calls
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.
I'll take the best of your bad moods and dress them up to make a better you
'Cause all the company calls amount to one paycheck
I'd squeeze a heart through my fingertip but I type too slow to make expressions stick
And it's like tv with a microchip
Set your sights to sing this party line, 'cause it's so tired
Set your sights! Destroy this mock-shrine, 'cause it's so tired
Let's cut our losses at both ends and aim your car away from all our friends
Leaving the dishes stacked in the sink
Set your sights to sink the partyline, 'cause it's so tired
Set your sights! Destroy this mock-shrine, 'cause it's so tired
I'd keep a distance 'cause the complications cloud it all
And mail a postcard sending greetings from the eastern bloc
Synapse to synapse
Possibilities will thin or fade
Your wedding figurines
I'd melt so I could drink them in
I'll take the best of your bad moods and dress them up to make a better you
'Cause all the company calls amount to one paycheck
Set your sights to sink the partyline, 'cause it's so tired
Set your sights! Destroy this mock-shrine, 'cause it's so tired
