LYRICS

we met on the bus
and it was canada day
we crossed into detroit, and the heat was insane
but the station was calm
and she walked out of view
threw a brick with a note through the ticket counter window
it said: i'd rather live in my basement
i'd rather cultivate palm trees
i'd rather move to new england
i'd rather shatter and freeze

then i ran out the door
she ran out of it too
the cops gave chase, but they got confused
so we escaped to her apartment
on the 30th floor
she had a great view
but that only counts for the non-blind
that's why: i'd rather live in my basement
i'd rather cultivate palm trees
i'd rather move to new england
i'd rather shatter and freeze

i said, seriously
you're sleeping alone
you know that's a waste of your recharge time
but she responded to me
like she governed her home
nobody sleeps here, i never sleep here

i hear they're draining the lake now
i hear they're shutting the fountains off
they plan to alter the shoreline
they plan to make it all clean
so let's set fire to both sides
let's leave a message they'll hear - let's scream
let's send a signal through coax
let's have them bend the terrain, destroy the lake and make a stream
