lyrics

it's like the air is slowly thinning
and I could feel it in my bones.
and if another Pinkerton surrounds me:
light 'em up, eyes closed.
and I can see it against the flashes
when this dogfight leaves us exposed.
it's always up, up, up in memories.
I'd rather light 'em up eyes closed.

words hang unspoken, the fuel gauge broken
and the idea that we can't escape.
we're always shoulders just touching shoulders
and we're stuffed tight in Kelly Green.
smoke out yr mouth in tendrils, like in the Sprawl where I met you.
that seems so far away.

we met up loose in the Sprawl, you said you liked it that way.
console cowboy scum from here to Ninsei.
you said you saw an out, you liked the way that I played.
and up the well we went, hyperspeed Kelly Green.
and I can never relax, I'm coughing right up my sleeves,
but when I'm jacked in I never want sleep.
now I could see the out, I liked the way that you played.
up the well we went, hyperspeed Kelly Green.
we met up loose in the Sprawl, no idea how it would shape
something like seven long years...give or take.
you said you saw the out, traced lines from here to yr grave.
and up the well we went, hyperspeed Kelly Green.

it's like the air was closing in
and I could see myself coming back to this.
I'd rather be in Kelly Green again, artificial oxygen.
bury my heart there. don't wanna come back up for air.
I'd rather die than see this all get pared.
to see you fail again.

I'd rather be in Kelly Green again. artificial oxygen.
