Pictures of Success - Motion City Soundtrack

Build your own television receiver

Staying home can’t be that bad for me

'Cause I’m not scared

Build your own television receiver

Staying home can’t be that bad for me

'Cause I’m not scared

But I’d like some extra spare time

Easily earn me big money

I’m a modern girl but I fold in half so easily

When I put myself in the picture of success

I could learn world trade

Or try to map the ocean

When you’re dead

In hospitals and freeways

When you’re dead

In resting homes and clinics

When you’re dead

It must be nice to finish

When you’re dead

I’ve had it with you

And Mexico can fucking wait

And all of those French films about trains

'Cause I’m not scared

But I’d like some extra spare time

I’m not scared

But the bills keep changing colors

When you’re dead

In hospitals and freeways

When you’re dead

In dress shirts and neckties

When you’re dead

In apartments and on beaches

When you’re dead

They say California is a recipe for a black hole

And I say I’ve got my best shoes on

I’m ready to go

Ready to go

Ready to go

Ready to go

I’m ready to go

These are times that can’t be weathered and

We have never been back there since then
