Overture - Summer Underground

You were holding your chapstick like a cigarette

Sitting in the backseat of your best friend’s car

You were looking out the window at the fast food chains

Or were you looking for a way out from tradition and shopping malls

You screamed:

«There is more to life than just the suburbs

And though we might miss our parents and our sisters

There is someplace calling me, drawing me and fucking up my sleep

And I am not one to resist temptation

I wanna go where everybody looks the same

And nobody knows my name

And I don’t have to answer anyone

Take all the space that I know well

Trade it for a tiny cell, live inside and start another life"

Well, if there is an answer to our prayer

Surely it lies between two rivers there

Everybody’s talking about how they wanna die young

But I wanna live forever

I used to tell you many things

About the way the future would bring us answers in bags with bows

Now I don’t know what’s in front of me

I don’t know what’s right behind me

Paranoid incessantly thoughts of us evanescing

Into a nest of muscle and bone

I will always be beside you in Sunnyside on stormy islands

Somewhere in the miles of code

This might feel strange for a while

Leave it to me I’ll save the files

There’s a glitch in the hall

She won’t answer the call

Self belief razor-thin, a history filled with sin

And the rat at the door, I can hear him and he’s clawing for more

Let me out of the cage, I have plenty to say

Where does it end?

I live on an island!

Where does it end?

I live on an island!

The room has never felt so still

The curtains drawn, the creature falls, the current stalls

Your eyes have never looked so blue

I love you now, I love you now, I love you now

Now, now, now, now…
