She's calling from a pay phone on Mercury My skin's crawling 'cause I think that she burns for me And that seems to work for me I hear what's coming so I'm keeping my peepers closed I can't believe I'm walking out on shelter from cold All I ask is for a little bit of wiggle room I gazed into the smokescreen The view from my window at my subway seat I'm underground with the bones of the dinosaurs But something puts me on my feet Can't you hear fluorescent lights flicker? Can't you feel the seconds grow thicker Can't you see me losing my powers Undoing the hours Browbeaten 'til it finally gets through to me I can't help that this will always be new to me That point is now moot to me I gazed into the smokescreen The view from my window at my subway seat I'm underground with the bones of the dinosaurs But something puts me on my feet Can't you hear fluorescent lights flicker? Can't you feel the seconds grow thicker Can't you see me losing my powers Undoing the hours I gazed into the smokescreen The view from my window at my subway seat I'm underground with the bones of the dinosaurs A little bit of wiggle room
