tip of your thumb

i don't know what you've been told

i heard all that glitter's not gold

we made a plan for the overthrow

ended up in line for their bow and arrow

we caught the flame but the flame caught on

you outrun me

we get stung

on handheld screens

mouthpiece undone

got your next trick

on the tip of your thumb

got your next trick

on the tip of your thumb

got me

on the tip of your thumb

we spread the word but the word had changed

our phrase started to pixelate

and she told the boy

but the boy won't say

holding onto his words in a tactile way

we caught the wave but the wave caught on

we're outnumbered 10 to 1

they waged a war and the war they won

got your next trick on the tip of your thumb

got your next trick

on the tip of your thumb

got me

on the tip of your thumb

got your next trick

on the tip of your thumb

got me

on the tip of your thumb

we're a sucker for the white noise and the pull of it

and you love going back to the habit after kicking it

say we're working on it"
