Big Shot City
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.
Stop the operation, help me off the table, we need to leave
I'm not the type to cry but the more I stay alive, I feel the tendencies increase
(Believe)
I can give you what you see and a drunken heartbeat up my sleeve
We'll take it up and come home clean
(Believe in me)
It's a whole and mystic reverie, a sunken signal submarined
We'll shake it up and come home sweet
(Believe in me)
Stop the operation
Big shot city losing vibration over me
Girl, you look gritty, I'll cruise invitations overseas
Stop the operation, I don't know how we even got here
And this story reeks of want
(Believe)
I can give you what you see and a drunken heartbeat up my sleeve
We'll take it up and come home clean
(Believe in me)
It's a whole and mystic reverie, a sunken signal submarined
We'll shake it up and come home sweet
(Believe in me)
Stop the operation
Big shot city losing vibration over me
Girl, you look gritty, I'll cruise invitations overseas
And the sign says: That's how we train
It's like the other side, don't know how or when to die
As long as the trees are born
Oh, yeah
Did we know that was Halcyon?
Did we know that was Halcyon?
Did we know that was Halcyon?
Now that is known as Halcyon
