Bright Eyes - Double Joe lyrics

The light is green, but you're not moving
It's a stoplight, after all
It's not a go light it ain't your night
You need a bug-light
So you can pop and crawl
Sure, I'll share your ugly duckling alcohol
Surgery's over and you're bouncin' back
So spill your guts, friend
But, hey not on my pants
You're not out of luck
You still got half a pack of cigarettes

It's anomie, lonely, lonely boy
Why don't you go see a show?
It's a sure-fire cure
Pretend the drumbeat is your heart
Double Joe double Joe
He ain't afraid of his cymbals

All those jumpin' jacks
They're just heart attacks
The sugar smacks you every time
You wanna be anonymous, well
You could be like parallel linеs
If you wanna be untouchable, well
You could bе a hologram
But home is where you hang out
Not where you hang yourself
Life is just a fleetin' opportunity
To do a belly dance on an atomic particle
Existence is essence and love is
Just a silly aftertaste

It's anomie, lonely, lonely, boy
Why don't you go see a show?
It's a sure-fire cure
Pretend the drumbeat is your heart
Double Joe double Joe
He ain't afraid of his cymbals double Joe
He ain't afraid of his cymbals
