These, these cracks tell time And story lines Curtains close, credits roll And all my fancy books are just for looks Ink dried slow like this train Train's been delayed Take the long way BQE over me [CHORUS:] Cut and crossed wires Electric fires Reset your clocks And rewrite your thoughts It's burning down Let's keep it up Flames they grow strong The louder the song If rats, rats run this race I'll get first place Tortoise versus the hare Old rabbit ears no longer hear Television beware [CHORUS]
