You sit outside in the dark And get nicked by the strobe light While we're playing indoors We play in a bar We play in a basement We play in a room where the mix isn't right The help at the door The age to get in The artist is smug They don't sound like they did We're ready to move The crowd is a stare If you've got things on your mind Shake them off! That's why we have come to collect you bodies From your lovers, and pause all the suffering At least start pacing You're not on the list You paid to get in Your boyfriend is mad It was something you did In concert tonight The bass drum is quick If you've got things on your mind Shake them off!
