Lyrics
A New Wave
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.
Every day I throw a little party
But a fit would be more fitting
And every time I climb a little higher
Should I leap or go on living?
Hear the voices venomous and thrilling
In my head they're always calling
But I wanna gotta go the way my blood beats
So I'm not fodder for their folly
No one here is taking notice
No outline will ever hold us
It's not a new wave, it's just you and me
Eyes are the only witness
Die to prove we ever lived this
Invent our own kind of obscurity
Let's destroy a room with this love
We can drain out all the power
Steal from the makers who unmade us
Leave them nothing to devour
I am raw material
Make me plastic, make me fuel
I can be, I can be
I can be
No one here is taking notice
No outline will ever hold us
It's not a new wave, it's just you and me
Eyes are the only witness
Die to prove we ever lived this
Invent our own kind of obscurity
No one here is taking notice
No outline will ever hold us
It's not a new wave, it's just you and me
Eyes are the only witness
Die to prove we ever lived this
Invent our own kind of obscurity
