[Verse 1: Rob Crow]

How can I just set of a part that's so full? [?]

How can I just read a part that's so cold?

You feeling depressed?

But you can fill in the rest

How 'bout when they ran to you?

How 'bout when you sang right along?

And how 'bout when they read from the zines?

And how 'bout when you read right along?

[Chorus: Armistead Burwell Smith IV & Rob Crow]

(How a, how a, ha, how a, how a) x 4

Begin transmission of our position

Receive transmission of their position

We're trapped in the drift

Entirely inside alone

A microtonic wave

Forces us further, further, further, further

[Verse 2: Rob Crow & Armistead Burwell Smith IV]

How 'bout when they ran to you?

How 'bout when you sang right along?

And how 'bout when they read from the zines?

And how 'bout when you read right along?

I can see your mouth move, know you're lying

Another generation of kids not buying

You feeling the crush (A microtonic wave)

To get out of town

[Chorus: Armistead Burwell Smith IV & Rob Crow]

(How a, how a, ha, how a, how a) x3

Begin transmission of our position

Receive transmission of their position

We're trapped in the drift

Entirely inside alone


[Bridge: Rob Crow]

Caught inside the booth

Hanging up the phone

Covered in loose change and bits of paper

Crawled inside the store

Clinging onto no one

Covered in his shame

Hang me by my thumbs

Cauterize my scars in scum

[Chorus: Armistead Burwell Smith IV & Rob Crow]

Begin transmission of our position

Receive transmission of their position

We're trapped in the drift (They crawl further)

Entirely inside alone

A microtonic wave forces us further, further, further, further (They crawl further down)

Take them home

Take them home
