Codeine Lyrics

Can you let me in? They said, "I can't, I can't"
Walk around 'til mornin' time lookin' for a hand
Every single one outstretched reachin' for the light
Comin' off the engine and they burn up inside
The car is nice, the leather's fine, they're headed for the hill
Happy to be burnin' than the one crushed in the grill

But I'm just hitchin' a ride
I'm just hitchin' a ride
Yeah, I'm just hitchin' a ride
I'm just hitchin' a ride

Codeine
A moment in silence
Sing
Trading time for kindness
Fade to black and close the act
'Cause Tony is not comin' back


Angel rust, digital dust is hangin' in the air
Shed the light, it bursts, it shines and flirts with its despair
Shakily, a melody comes across the sky
Hits the lips of every kid and they begin to cry

But I'm just singin' along
I'm just singin' along
Yeah, I'm just singin' along
I'm just singing along

Ooh, Codeine
A moment's silence
Sing
Trading time for kindness
Sing
No story about the blindness
Sing, ayy, ayy, ayy
Trading time for lightness
Fade to black and close the act
'Cause Tony is not comin' back (Ayy)

Every past stretched out in strands, the thread to lace the coat
Wishes are made to die and future pokes the hole
