Whose authority

Everyone's right and no one is sorry
That's the start and the end of the story
From the sharks and the jets to the call in the morning

Everyone's right and no one is sorry
That's the start and the end of the story
From the sharks and the jets to the call in the morning
And life is just bits anyway

Look alive see these bones
What you are now, we were once

Try as they might, no one's immune to
Misfiring and acting on the wrong clues
And thinking it's time to redo redo

I feel rain in the movies and the talk before the screen lights
I hear strings in the park
I don't like to call her right unless its too late at night
I mostly just think in the dark

Look alive see these bones
What you are now, we were once
But just like we are
You'll be dust
And just like we are
Permanent

You were too tired to eat
Too hungry to sleep
Just imagine the speed
It's just what you need

Look alive, you see these bones
What you are now, we were once
And just like we are
You'll be dust
And just like we are
Permanent

The lights in the city are more or less blinking
Which side of the story decides what you're thinking
We're a moans and cold faces
We're squinting, we're hurrying
We take inventory
We're digging, we're burrying

Do you remember when the lines blow?
Do you remember when it failed
Do you remember when we went to your house?
Remember ringing the bell?

Look alive, see these bones
What you are now, we were once
Just like we are
You'll be dust
And just like we are
Permanent

The lights in the city are more or less blinking (look alive)
Which side of the story decides what you're thinking (see these bones)
We're moans and cold faces (what you are now)
We're squinting, we're hurrying (we were once)
We take inventory
We're digging, we're burrying

Do you remember when the lights low?
Do you remember when it failed?
Do you remember when we went to your house?
Remember ringing the bell? [2x]

Look alive see these bones [2x]
