"AT A TIME LIKE THIS" lyrics

I keep my soul on high alert
I keep it all on high alert
At a time like this
At a time like this
Mixed in the glass till I end up on a list
Spirits on the floor till they learn to coexist
They'll be missed
At a time like this, I wish
At a time like this

Call it, call it, call it what you want
Karma karma in the current when it's calm ohh
At a time like this, it's strong
Ohh
At a time like this

The old timer told me not to bother
He thought getting old would take way longer
Scraping all the rust off of his armor
Melting in my hands like salt in water
Spoken like the father of a father
I thought getting old would take way longer
I thought getting old would make me stronger
At a time like this

Ooh
M.I M.I.A MI MI MIA (mi mia)
Put em on VHF, tell em send them my way (better send them my way)
Gold on my body as it all went my way (yeah it all went my way)
God stained my body, crashing my getaway (yeah yeah)
I could hear the pain from the landline (yeah yeah)
You were too young to be the bad guy
You were just a child, life just happened to you
Sleeping on the wheel when it backed into you
At a time like this
At a time like this

Mixed in the glass with the spirits from the bottle
I wanna leave a message for that person from tomorrow
And when it's all gone, no one wants to take requests
What's the point in trying at a time like...
At a time like this

Mixed in the glass till I end up on a list
Spirits on the floor till they learn to exist
They'll be missed
Why bother filling an abyss
What's the point in dying at a time like this
Like this

Call it, call it, call it what you want
But there's karma in the current when it's calm
Whatever gets me, gets me
Don't get me wrong
Whatever gets me probably had me all along
Call it, call it, call it what you want
But there's karma in the current when it's calm
Whatever gets me, gets me
Don't get me wrong
Whatever gets me probably had me all along

At a time like this
At a time like this
At a time like this
At a time like this
I keep my soul on high alert
I keep it all on high alert
I keep on watching till it hurts
I keep on going till it works out
I keep it all on high alert
I keep on dancing till it hurts
At a time like this
At a time like this
I was born in the wrong
With a puzzle to solve
Where the colors dissolve
Ohhh
Just keep holding your breath, yea
When the tunnels collapse, ahh
And the wish is intact
Ohhh
And the guilt comes in on 2
And the guilt comes in
When the walls cave in on you
They become your skin
At a time like this
At a time like this

They might as well, they went-
There goes the wind
Turn the engine!
It's a gorgeous island
