A Real Thing

Picking up the tyres from the side of the road Gonna push back the coming tide Lay them in the harbour in symmetrical rows Disappear when the water is high Setting and regretting now my sneakers are soaked So they're drying in the sun outside It's not what I intended when I woke up the house I was screaming "we're all gonna die" And now we're all in late trains Racing the motorway Getting rhyme over reason It's a sinister silly season Maybe we can end up meaning a real thing Picking up the tyres from the side of the road Gonna push back the coming tide Laying down beside them like I'm in on the joke Wake me up when the world is fried And you're sorry, I see it when you open your mouth You've got one hand over your heart while you're holding me down Oh I want to hope but if that's not allowed I guess I'll go out instead Now we're all in relay We all admit it's strange Getting rhyme over reason It's a sinister silly season Maybe we can end up meaning a real thing Getting rhyme over reason It's a sinister silly season Maybe we can end up meaning End up meaning, end up meaning, a real thing Picking up the tyres from the side of the road Gonna push back the coming tide Picking up the tyres from the side of the road Gonna push back the coming tide
