Lyrics Death Cab for Cutie

Death Cab for Cutie

A Movie Script Ending

Whenever I come back

The air on railroad

Is making the same sounds

And the shop fronts on Holly

Are dirty words Asterisks in for the vowels

And we peered through the windows

New bottoms on barstools

The people remain the same

With prices inflating, inflating

As if saved from the gallows

There's a bellow of buzzers

And people stop working

And they're all so excited, excited

Passing through unconscious states

When I awoke I was on the high-way

High-way, high-way, high-way

With your hands on my shoulders

A meaningless movement

A movie script ending

And the patrons are leaving, leaving

Passing through unconscious states

When I awoke I was on the high-way

High-way, high-way, high-way

High-way, high-way, high-way, high-way

And now we all know the words were true

In the sappiest songs, yes, yes

And I'll put them to bed, but they won't sleep

Just shuffling the sheets, to toss and turn

You can't begin to get it back

Passing through unconscious states

When I awoke I was on

The onset of a later stage

The headlights are beacons on the high-way

High-way, high-way, high-way

High-way, high-way, high-way, high-way
