lyrics

lights up defenses down, they said it's all different now.
fair weather friends win unfair fights and drag you to the ground. you want to be remembered, everyone wants to be. god save Bill Buckner, everyone wants to be.

when up is down, believe in the setback. it's a touchdown on the tarmac.

crumbled rose and washed out road and you can't hold it in. shooting dirty looks and burning books, it's the best you've been. curled lips and laughs and lies and far too proud to advertise. scanning with your lazy eyes for beaming faces bleeding dry.

and you're too tired to bother, and the speeches get more hollow. and the longer that you stall you lose your faith. you can find the courage for your best split second urges. and you do what you can to save your face.

coming clean and coming down. your footwork's down to science now. martini and a spiral pad for the best ideas you ever had.

you can find the courage for your best split second urges. and you do what you can to save your face.
in with a bang with the best joke ever. the little champ with the back shop efforts. up from behind in the shortest time, then drinking in the sun with the damage done.

all eyes are on you.

more mass fringe thinking
when it all breaks down
better get to the blinking
when it all breaks down
