Metric - Grow up and blow away

Tekst :

Floating the rent
Two by two
From the womb
To the holiday
There is no holiday
First double-cross her heart
He wants to start a family
Needing something to go on

If she weren t writing in blood
She d bring him her jokes
A new liver
And a shovel for the mud
If he were not knee-deep in mud
He d bring her his drugs
He d get her a typewriter

If this is the life
Why does it feel so good to die today?
Blue to gray
Grow up and blow away...

If this is the life
Why does it feel so good to die today?
Blue to gray
Grow up and blow away...

Nobody knows which street to take
He took the easy way
What was the easy way?
First double-cross her heart
He wants to start a family
She always thought she would not.

If she weren t writing in blood
She d bring him her jokes
A new liver
And a shovel for the mud
If he were not knee-deep in mud
He d bring her his drugs
He d get her a typewriter

If this is the life
Why does it feel so good to die today?
Blue to gray
Grow up and blow away...

If this is the life
Why does it feel so good to die today?
Blue to gray
Grow up and blow away...

First double-cross her heart
He wants to start a family
Her body is the baby.

If this is the life
Why does it feel so good to die today?
Blue to gray
Grow up and blow away...

If this is the life
Why does it feel so good to die today?
Blue to gray
Grow up and blow away...

Blue to gray
Grow up and blow away...
Blue to gray
Grow up and blow away...
Blue to gray
Grow up and blow away...
Blue to gray
Grow up and blow away...

Metric - On the sly

Tekst :

Wipe it up you re capable of putting back a few when you have to memorize The history of your body like a virgin
Ladies night
80 s night
The kids get high and eat TV
So do we
For Halloween
I want to be Lenny Bruce

I want them to
hate me
I want them to
hate me
I want them to
hate me
I want them to
hate me
I want them to
hate me
So you can love me on the sly

My old flame broke the 12 bar blues
just to prove he could
He pays the airline DJs now
He is everywhere

I want him to
hate me
I want him to
hate me
I want him to
hate me
I want him to
hate me
I want him to
hate me
So you can love me on the sly.
I want him to
hate me
I want him to
hate me
I want him to
hate me

I don t feel so far away from you lately
love me on the sly

Fill me in on horrible
how much is there
where else can I live?
The dirty sugar factory
on the water
should smell sweet

I want them to
hate me
I want them to
hate me
I don t feel so far away from you lately
love me on the sly

I want them to
hate me
I want them to
hate me
I don t feel so far away from you lately
love me on the sly

I want them to
hate me
I want them to
hate me
I don t feel so far away from you lately
love me on the sly

Metric - Calculation theme

Tekst :

I’m sick, you’re tired, let’s dance
Break to love make lust I know it isn’t
I’m sick, you’re tired, let’s dance
Cold as numbers but let’s dance

As though it were easy for you to lead me
I could be passive gracefully

Half the horizon’s gone for a skyline of numbers
Half the horizon’s gone we’re working the numbers
‘till I’m sick

Sleep don’t pacify us until
Daybreak sky lights up the grid we live in
Dizzy when we talk so fast
Fields of numbers streaming past

I wish we were farmers, I wish we knew how
To grow sweet potatoes and milk cows
I wish we were lovers, but it s for the best

Tonight your ghost will ask my ghost,
Where is the love?
Tonight your ghost will ask my ghost,
Who here is in line for a raise?
Tonight your ghost will ask my ghost,
Where is the love?
Tonight your ghost will ask my ghost,
Who put these bodies between us?
