Apollo Amateur
Jawbox
Time to drive out to nowhere special
Just to believe you're thinking straight
Soothed by the blurred and interstitial
Happy to ruminate on hate
Slurring the words to half a love song
Shamed like the amateur on stage
Mouthful of coins for penny candy
Dreaming there's nothing more at stake
It's so sweet
Taste fuel for faking
Love and dread
Soundtrack and a contract sewn tight unsaid
Thickening air, sickening siren
Lullaby far beyond the call
Makes too much noise about desire
For words to mean anything at all
It's so sweet
Taste fuel for faking
Love and dread
Soundtrack and a contract sewn tight unsaid
It's some cheat
The hand over your head
Put it to bed
Solace in a soulless insight
Lie well not to be a liar
Call out not to miss the call
Send yourself driving out to nowhere
Forswear the pride, you love the fall
How can anybody know you
You don't know yourself at all
