I'VE GOT WALLS TIGHTER THAN THE WORLD'S BEST ALIBI
WINE AND TEDIOUS TRINKETS LETTING LIGHT ARRIVE
DON'T BUY INTO THAT FACE YOU'VE PERFECTED
STRESS HELD IN THE JAW AND THE ATTITUDE ELECTRIC

THE MOTOR AND THE LONER MIGHT CONNECT
THOUGH SLIGHTLY OUT OF KEY
THE MOTOR AND THE LONER HANG RESPECT JUST OUT OF REACH
BOUNCING STARES OFF OF THE STREET
AND GRADUALLY KICKING ALL THE STRUT DOWN A SPEED
BOUNCING STARES OFF OF THE STREET
AND GRADUALLY LETTING ALL THE FUSS RECEDE

MUTUAL LOSS CAN BOND THE ESTRANGED
TRUTH TO DEFAULT IN SONGS SO PLAIN
DON'T BUY INTO THE ICE KING AND THE HIGHWAY
DISAPPEAR YOUR PETTY FEARS AND GIVE A CHANCE TO STAY

HAD ENOUGH BLACK WOOL TO KEEP YOU FULL
ACQUAINTANCES LIKE WORMS TO SPEND YOUR SOUL
GENUINE A HEIGHT THAT'S HARD TO KEEP
CLOWNS MUST BE THE SADDEST HUMAN BEINGS

THE MOTOR AND THE LONER MIGHT CONNECT
THOUGH SLIGHTLY OUT OF KEY
THE MOTOR AND THE LONER MIGHT CONNECT
BUT IT HASN'T HAPPENED YET
