December 31st
11:59
I think I'm happy now
At least from time to time
I had to let it go
I had to let it slip
Funny how it all works out
When you're given up on it
Rooftops and stars above
The smell of cold, dead leaves
Our skin was all in knots
You were moving under me
Cars and history turn to rust
Cars and history turn to rust
Cars and history turn to rust
Cars and history turn to rust
December 31st
11:59
Come a little closer girl
It's time to rise and shine
I had to let it go
We had to let it slip
Funny how it all works out
When you've given up on it
Rooftops and stars above
(Cold war is gone)
The smell of cold, dead leaves
Our skin was all in knots
(Cold war is over, dear)
You were moving under me
Cars and history turn to rust
(Satellites, dirty bombs and fear)
Cars and history turn to rust
Cars and history turn to rust
Cars and history turn to rust
I want you
Oh, I want you
December 31st, this frozen hand
11:59, -has turned to rain
Come a little closer girl, it's dark again
It's time to rise and shine, it goes that way
I had to let it go, it's on the prowl
We had to let it slip, it's latest junk
Funny how it all works out, teeth broken shells
When you've given up on it, to be someone
Rooftops and stars above, this little tick
(Cold war is gone)
The smell of cold, dead leaves, up every night
(Cold war is over, dead)
Our skin was all in knots, the only war
You were moving under me, we televise
Cars and history turn to rust, we televise
(Satellites, dirty bombs and fear)
Cars and history turn to rust, we televise
Cars and history turn to rust, those little lies
Cars and history turn to rust
I want you
Oh, I want you
Cars and history turn to rust, those little lies
(Cold war is gone)
Cars and history turn to rust, those little lies
(Cold war is over, dear)
Cars and history turn to rust, those little lies
(Satellites, dirty bombs and fear)
Cars and history turn to rust, we televise
Who will win? (cold war is gone)
Cars and history turn to rust, we televise
Who will win? (cold war is over dear)
Cars and history turn to rust, we televise
Who will win? (satellites, dirty bombs and fear)
Cars and history turn to rust, we televise
Who will win? (cold war is gone)
Cars and history turn to rust, we televise
Who will win? (cold war is over, dear)
Cars and history turn to rust, those little lies
Who will win? (satellites, dirty bombs and fear)
