"Hyperventilate" lyrics

My eyes shine like neon signs
In the West LA whiskey light
Revvin' like a two-stroke car crime
But I'm a stuck man livin' on a thin skin
Of a cold horizon
'Cause all the new gods love fame and fortune

But I don't wanna transcend
I wanna transform
'Cause I've been feelin' like an eyesore
And my heart is always comin' up short

You make me hyperventilate
You look like you know the meaning of dreams
And how to talk to snakes
I know you love it when the earth shakes
But I'm not ready for this to be a memory
No, I'm not ready for this to be a memory

My eyes shine like broken headlights
Fading on the wrong drive
Leave you in black of night
Please let it be true

That all good men are evil sometimes
But the poison is pure in America, babe
Dancin' with the new lost renegades
Don't mess with a man who hesitates

You make me hyperventilate
You look like you know the meaning of dreams
And how to talk to snakes
I know you love it when the earth shakes
But I'm not ready for this to be a memory
No, I'm not ready for this to be a memory

No, I'm not ready for this to be a memory
No, I'm not ready for this to be a memory

(I'm not ready
I'm not ready)
