Maximo Park lyrics : "Our Velocity"
Chisel me down until I am clean
I buy books, I never read
And then I'll tell you some more about me
Beneath the concrete there's a sound
A muffled cry below the ground
There is a poison in the air
A mix of chemicals and fear
My words are just hunches
I'm not sure what they mean
You're asking for commitment
When I'm somewhere in between
Never, never try to gauge temperature
When you tend to travel
At such speed
It's our velocity
Is it cold where you are this time of year
You didn't leave a scar
A stream of numbers hit a screen
And your expected to know what they mean
Throughout the conflict I was serene
I can't out-run the sadness I've seen
Are you willing to resist
From people you've never met
The devils wheel revolves
But it needs to be reset
Never, never try to gauge temperature
When you tend to travel
At such speed
It's our velocity
Please tell me
Is it cold where you are this time of year
You didn't leave a scar
I've got no one to call
In the middle of the night anymore
I'm just alone with these thoughts
I've got no one to call
In the middle of the night anymore
I'm just alone with my thoughts
I watched a film to change my feelings
Strong enough to bare a burden
If everyone became this sensitive
I wouldnt have to be so sensitive
If everyone became so sensitive
Perhaps I wouldnt be so sensitive
Love is a lie which means I've been lied to
Love is a lie which means I've been lying too
Love is a lie which means I've been lied to
Love is a lie
I've got no one to call
In the middle of the night anymore
I'm just alone with these thoughts
I've got no one to call
In the middle of the night anymore
I'm just alone with my thoughts
Never, never try to gauge temperature
When you tend to travel
At such speed
It's our velocity
