You're the prize fighter We're the final blow You're made of silver We're tin and stone Your success is measured in your smile We're ghosts in the radio Change the station You're sick with the melody From these songs filled with malady The frequency decays The song plays on We swim against the tide in the hourgla** And wonder how long we will last We count the fallen acts as seasons pa** And wonder how long we will last (Start the minute hands in motion) The doors they keep revolving The poets keep on falling We craft like thieves to bring you to your knees I promise I'll be back In the form of the victory lap They never heard us coming Hit the clock I'm keeping time in rhythm and in rhyme Singing our demise While slow dancing on the shoreline
