On The Verge
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.
Play it so safe to stay on top
Shake it, imitate it, but it still sounds old.
We just can't understand why the man calls it lo-fi
So get your bags packed now and I'll meet you on the outside.
"X"-out all self-supervision, get your keys out now start the ignition
We're on the verge of…
We're on the verge of…
We're on the verge of… All right!
When you're shipwrecked on your mattress I'll come in and show you how
To hijack the past and wind up in right now
Grab some clothes, three chords and a video camera
Maybe a mic, some handiwipes, a typewriter and a hammer
"X"-out all self-supervision get your keys out now start the ignition
We're on the verge of…
We're on the verge of…
We're on the verge of… All right!
Why don't you come over now, I'll buzz you up
'Cause you know when you're around I can't get enough
I'm gonna follow you wait, straight into the late night
'Cause you're so on fire and you already know
"X"-out all self-supervision get your keys out now start the ignition
A-O A-O do it so right
A-O A-O do it tonight
A-O A-O do it so right
A-O A-O do it tonight
We're on the verge of…
We're on the verge of…
We're on the verge of…
We're on the verge of… All right
We're on the verge of…
We're on the verge of…
We're on the verge of…
We're on the verge of… All right!!!!!
