there were black bugs hanging round the sink before we stopped to think they're not the ones that need a drink before we stopped to think and we stopped to catch our breath and we stopped feeling our death, that's why / when we died and we stopped to tell apart the clock from our beating heart we would write our songs slow then we'd try to speed them up we would write our songs soft then we'd try to make them tough (chorus) we finished more than we could start and we're smarter than you'd ever think and now I think I need a drink pause for a cause I'd never name (chorus)
