Death Cab For Cutie - Scientist Studies lyrics
[Death Cab For Cutie - Scientist Studies lyrics]
What ghosts exist behind these attic walls?
There's got to be a simpler explanation
'Cause I scrimped and I saved just to find
That they've been splicing my inventions
Cold skin and bones at this latitude
We ain't paying 'til the heat comes through
So you slept in a stocking cap
A wool scarf and the
Promises of payments were
Upon your shoulders constantly
But don't forget to entertain
'Cause this is your first defense
Four-year offense to the devoted type
I may have got an invitation
But I wasn't invited
But I thought that this meant something more
Than broken hearts and new addictions
We'll leave our sins within the carpet twine
Our bodies will dissolve the
Chemicals in due time
Promises of payments were
Upon your shoulders constantly
But don't forget to entertain
'Cause this is your first defense
This is your first defense
This is a first defense
This was a first defense
This is my last defense
There's got to be a simpler explanation
'Cause I scrimped and I saved just to find
That they've been splicing my inventions
Cold skin and bones at this latitude
We ain't paying 'til the heat comes through
So you slept in a stocking cap
A wool scarf and the
Promises of payments were
Upon your shoulders constantly
But don't forget to entertain
'Cause this is your first defense
Four-year offense to the devoted type
I may have got an invitation
But I wasn't invited
But I thought that this meant something more
Than broken hearts and new addictions
We'll leave our sins within the carpet twine
Our bodies will dissolve the
Chemicals in due time
Promises of payments were
Upon your shoulders constantly
But don't forget to entertain
'Cause this is your first defense
This is your first defense
This is a first defense
This was a first defense
This is my last defense
