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
