[al:New Adventures in Hi-Fi]
[00:18.64]Look up, what do you see?
[00:20.23]All of you and all of me
[00:22.17]Fluorescent and starry
[00:23.47]Some of them, they surprise
[00:24.61]
[00:25.56]The bus ride, I went to write this, 4:00 AM
[00:27.84]This letter
[00:29.98]Fields of poppies, little pearls
[00:31.29]All the boys and all the girls sweet-toothed
[00:35.62]Each and every one a little scary
[00:37.16]I said your name
[00:41.40]
[00:42.45]I wore it like a badge of teenage film stars
[00:44.79]Hash bars, cherry mash and tinfoil tiaras
[00:48.27]Dreaming of Maria Callas
[00:51.45]Whoever she is
[00:54.44]This fame thing, I don't get it
[00:56.74]I wrap my hand in plastic to try to look through it
[00:59.49]Maybelline eyes and girl-as-boy moves
[01:02.82]I can take you far
[01:05.21]This star thing, I don't get it
[01:08.11]
[01:13.88]I'll take you over, there
[01:20.21]I'll take you over, there
[01:21.21]Aluminum, tastes like fear, there
[01:24.06]Adrenaline, it pulls us near
[01:27.24]I'll take you over
[01:28.38]It tastes like fear, there
[01:32.11]I'll take you over
[01:33.41]
[01:33.66]Will you live to 83?
[01:36.54]Will you ever welcome me?
[01:38.84]Will you show me something that nobody else has seen?
[01:43.67]Smoke it, drink
[01:45.17]Here comes the flood
[01:48.46]Anything to thin the blood
[01:50.70]These corrosives do their magic slowly and sweet
[01:56.09]Phone, eat it, drink
[01:59.18]Just another chink
[02:00.68]Cuts and dents, they catch the light
[02:04.21]Aluminum, the weakest link
[02:07.55]
[02:08.44]I don't want to disappoint you
[02:10.44]I'm not here to anoint you
[02:13.04]I would lick your feet
[02:14.13]But is that the sickest move?
[02:15.37]I wear my own crown and sadness and sorrow
[02:18.61]And who'd have thought tomorrow could be so strange?
[02:23.75]My loss, and here we go again
[02:26.95]
[02:27.84]I'll take you over, there
[02:34.39]I'll take you over, there
[02:35.68]Aluminum, tastes like fear, there
[02:38.62]Adrenaline, it pulls us near

[02:43.03]It tastes like fear,it pulls us near
[02:47.36]I'll take you over
[02:49.55]
[03:06.31]Look up, what do you see?
[03:09.65]All of you and all of me
[03:11.64]Fluorescent and starry
[03:14.29]Some of them, they surprise
[03:16.44]
[03:18.83]I can't look it in the eyes
[03:21.52]Seconal, spanish fly, absinthe, kerosene
[03:24.32]Cherry-flavored neck and collar
[03:26.12]I can smell the sorrow on your breath
[03:27.92]The sweat, the victory and sorrow
[03:30.41]The smell of fear, I got it
[03:32.96]

[04:06.67]Tastes like fear
[04:08.12]Tastes like fear
[04:10.32]Nearer, nearer
[04:14.71]Pulls us near
[04:20.29]Over, over, over, over
[04:26.38]Over, over, over, over
