here are the lyrics for I.C.'s and interstates
1.Bright eyed. Bushy tailed. Up the stairs past burned out light bulbs Industrial converted waste Just outside there’s sun and hills and Frisbee games. barefoot kids I expect the quintessential Tv lives. post modern thoughts With college friends stay up all night, we’ll Talk about important shit Did you go away to inhale and ingest Vomit it up when you’re full What did you end up with when you were done the first time and why did I come back for more chorus: it’s just like running away but it’s not I heard there’s a time and a place Is this it? Will you be the love of my life I badly need one and what a better time than now to start Being happy I’m going to be happy this time (3x) Got it planned, I’ll lose myself in Brand new and most classic style All those spots we’ve never been to Let’s take the car and not come back Drive for days on cash we can’t spend Leave at night. Tell no-one Away from lights and sounds but closer To memories and wasted lives Chorus
Like finding a rock in a new pair of shoes And I woke up In a closet filled with bumble bees and icky scary things And you were there with Your stethoscope. lab coat drawn. asking me What my blood pressure is and what my blood pressure was And for a quick stool sample And I said what Can you explain it again? I must have missed the point I must have been asleep Where’s the wool I feel my eyes again Last thing I remember I was trying and you cared And then something happened Or maybe something happened Chorus: It seems I thought that you were something you’re not Sincere about the promises you made The promises that you can’t keep I know I was excited and then it died But that don’t implicate me I did my best what else do you need You want too much from me Here’s all that I have except my last ounce of hope I’m saving that for a worthy cause So what can I expect to get in return Please not some fools good memento My time was worth much more than this (2x) And you left Expecting to come back to me life figured out Childhood dreams And arbitrary memories taxonomized Bound and printed I always start off with the kicker sentence Thank you for The stylebook I know my own’s not worthwhile I said what? I must have missed the point again where’s my schedule And what am I supposed to feel right now chorus
no truth to find don’t you dare ask that question again I don’t want to fish around for another lie There is no truth to find I hate to interrupt myself just to quantify And to vindicate experience Some days aren’t worth reliving I refuse to mention the dates or places Names, times, reasons, opinions You will get no rebuttal Suffice it to say that you fucked up I can see what’s important here And what’s on your mind If the Athenians lost it to Greed ignorance bigotry arrogance What are those dorics doing on the Courthouse, city hall, mansions, university I didn’t want to be caught by the Hook, line, sinker, bait I’m committed but only on my own terms My own terms All that I have has been sucked out By all of your petty requests And nitpicky complaints I’m done here I forceful and frustrated Buzzwords they set me off And I’ve got no remorse, Yeah I’m not your victim anymore
phases or polarity or shut it off shut it off shut it off I’m angry and tired of being worried all about This light it hurts my eyes Shut it off shut it off shut if off Wood hurts when it splinters cause it’s weak I’m done frailty’s dumb time to harden shell Spinning wheels don’t mean as much as phases and polarity Still don’t like faining interest or injunctions for sincerity Got to close the flood gates shut I’m leaking fuel Leaking life Leaking love Please don’t know it’s killing me I didn’t think you’d care Please don’t know I’m giving in to recycled ugly thoughts No one goes to college to learn anything anymore I don’t even remember why I went It’s amazing how far we go to avoid the letdown I don’t even remember why I cried It was funny For lack of a better word In lieu of a more appropriate response Have better ideas Be more cryptic Don’t fall for it Give in Don’t give in
afterthoughts and intimacy diggin through the past taught me maybe I was wrong I might have misconstrued and even lied just to prove What I thought all along Well these hopeless expectations I guess you could never meet Because I have more fun disillusioned than I ever do in love Hey now wait I would have never said those things If you had never asked But now my ass is glued down to the seat My eyes peeled open wide To see what I have done I’m sorry I said something I shouldn’t have Felt some things that I regret I finally heard my self Of what a fool I guess I’ll go and take it back I expected much much more than you could ever give And nothing in return The problem ain’t us it’s this tissue This hair and these bones With them in the way you know we’ll never be close enough close enough
