"New Wave Will Never Die" lyrics
Question marks how they crowd the brain
Pour your head onto an empty page
I wasn't racing but the race is on
I shot myself with a starter gun
Each night we ask ourselves why
New wave will never die
Some folks dream of what might have been
Building castles out of saccharine
And styrofoam saved from sleepless nights
For the spirits they can't exorcise
Still we'll be searching the skies
New wave will never die
Some epochs subside with shrugs or a sigh
New wave will never die
You said immaterial things have their place
What that means I could never say
I've been disgraced
Painkilling's now a full-time job
Not to decide is not to decide
So get thee down to a coffee shop
Write it down and don't ever stop
Each night we ask ourselves why
New wave will never die
The bus with the choir is driving by
New wave will never die
Some epochs subside with shrugs or a sigh
New wave will never die
Pour your head onto an empty page
I wasn't racing but the race is on
I shot myself with a starter gun
Each night we ask ourselves why
New wave will never die
Some folks dream of what might have been
Building castles out of saccharine
And styrofoam saved from sleepless nights
For the spirits they can't exorcise
Still we'll be searching the skies
New wave will never die
Some epochs subside with shrugs or a sigh
New wave will never die
You said immaterial things have their place
What that means I could never say
I've been disgraced
Painkilling's now a full-time job
Not to decide is not to decide
So get thee down to a coffee shop
Write it down and don't ever stop
Each night we ask ourselves why
New wave will never die
The bus with the choir is driving by
New wave will never die
Some epochs subside with shrugs or a sigh
New wave will never die
