Lyrics:
Meeting Eddie Smith
Hold your troubled jaw
Your losing teeth “Let’s shoot it again”
Hear your phantom song
Sinking shoes
“Let’s shoot it again”
Drink your wolf man heart
Holy water
Not my UFO
Plastic czar
Funeral t-shirt
There’s no coming back
Even your drums will die
Troubling times
Bent on a dime
Pushing your eyes
Back to your homes
“This is the part
Where I die in the scene”
Chased in the parking lot
By a faceless phantom
“Let’s do a take
Where you fall from this window”
“You’re blurry again”
“Step out of the frame”
This the playback
Calling your friends
Back when we mattered
