Got a box of nails, let the hammer fly
Gonna build my house out of railroad ties
Gonna cut my hair with a carving knife
While Art Pepper blows from the afterlife
Found a pack of smokes circa ninety-five
And you joke the last time we felt alive
There's a dozen megs on this blue zip drive
With a song we wrote called "the head first dive"
Shoes on thinning cracking ice and treading lightly
Down to pour a finger twice and take it nightly
This was once a paradise, I think it might be time to go
Let's smash it up, let's burn it down
Let's cut the cord, throw our phones in the sea
Let's toss it off the railroad cross
Let's trade the glow for the lights of the city
Let's smash it up, let's burn it down
Let's hit the road, drag out all we could be
Let's toss it off the railroad cross
Look out below
Got a black glass brick tied around my eyes
And it keeps me warm while you advertise
Cannot lift my head, never think to try
Got a live feed streaming this sunset sky
Who's that knocking on the door, it's "you look lovely"
Days left unaccounted for, a decade roughly
Polaroids have filled the drawer, I think it must be time to go
Let's smash it up, let's burn it down
Let's cut the cord, throw our phones in the sea
Let's toss it off the railroad cross
Let's trade the glow for the lights of the city
Let's smash it up, let's burn it down
Let's hit the road, drag out all we could be
Let's toss it off the railroad cross
Let's trade the glow for the lights of the city
