Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Out on the ledge
The worst temptation
The great summation
Ensues
The razor's edge
Test my patience
Retaliation
Was it worth it at all?
[Verse 2]
Number 9 on a cloud
Seven rings looking down
At the flames and the crowds
Made my ears ring so loud
Sorrow compounds
Watch the news helicopters spin out
[Intro]
Spin, spin, spin, spin, spin
Spin out
Spin, spin, spin, spin, spin
Spin out
[Verse 3]
Open the fridge
My emancipation
Proclamation
French rosé
I'll make a wish
I'm a kid with cancer
I'm out to pasture
It was spring for a day
[Verse 4]
Twenty-one in a bar, just sixteen with a card
Putting cracks in my heart
Makes it all fall apart
It was doomed from the start
All the house and the strobe lights went dark
[Outro]
I couldn't save you
I can relate to
Nabokov's virtue
Or loves interchangeable parts
