settle up

i'm a false start on a jukebox

a broken heart after last call

it's lights up

i'm locked in

and now its time to settle up

no slow emotion anymore

i know the secret of this town

faster faster you're to the floor

it sets you up just to knock you down

tomorrow starts when i decide to settle up with everything i hide

things i want

the things i miss

a neon sign i can't resist

i'm drawing stick figures on a napkin of you and me

they're not your friends but they'll be around

to raise a glass and watch you drown

no slow emotion any more

i know the secret of this town

where every kid's in love with death

the boredom brags a familiar sound

no slow emotion anymore

i know the secret of this town

faster faster you're ignored

set them up just to knock them down
