lyrics

This is how the bottle breaks against the wall
This is how we hold back our blood with our sleeves

One, two, lift the receiver
Three, four, yes you remember
One, two, three, break down the door
And five, six, seven, eight
They’ll arrive too late if you choke
So lower your voice, what will the neighbors think
When your car is gone?
Look low, watch the ground, keep suspicion down
They won’t know a thing if you keep this in your confidence

Make sure the doors are latched
Close the blinds tightly
Closely, now, we can’t make any more mistakes

What did you think was going to happen?
You really think you’re in the clear?
Nobody ever gets away with it
Your story’s trite and trivial

Top Secret Area EP

Brings me back to my TTNG days...and I'm really glad to be back. The song is always heading in another emotional direction and making even the most chaotic feel confident and complacent. It's a wonderful thing that I found this, and glad to investigate the rest (even though I missed out on the tapes...). Travis
