Busy Signals

Woo-ho, we're a stunning contradiction,

A pieced-together picture

Of a satellite trying to fly

Woo-ho, this is feeling like stick-up

And I'm about to plan my getaway

Woo-ho, I guess it's better late than never

It's scary, but whatever -

At least it didn't lead me to lie

Woo-ho, even I'm prepared to settle

But I'm not about to give my heart away

To subjects without predicates

You chain me to the telephone

To keep me close when you're alone

I'm hanging up, you're begging me to stay

The busy signals compromise

Your innocence and alibis

So I'm about to let you walk away

Woo-ho, this is easier than lying

I'm not afraid of dying

But that doesn't mean I'm ready to go

Woo-ho, all the animals are trying

But I just wanna survive anyway

Woo-ho, we're a dangerous progression,

A volatile succession,

A saturation ready to blow

Woo-ho, it's a chemical reaction,

The acids and the bases break away

To subjects without predicates

You chain me to the telephone

To keep me close when you're alone

I'm hanging up, you're begging me to stay

The busy signals compromise

Your innocence and alibis

So I'm about to let you walk away

We're trapped,

Tangled in the slack -

A finger on the trigger

And a saddle on our backs

So get back,

The subtlety's a trap

We'll never take it easy

And we'll never take it back

'Cause we're trapped

Tangled in the slack

We'll never take it easy

And we'll never take it back

You chain me to the telephone

To keep me close when you're alone

I'm hanging up, you're begging me to stay

The busy signals compromise

Excuses, threats, and alibis,

So I'm about to let you walk away

You chain me to the telephone

To keep me close when you're alone

I'm hanging up, you're begging me to stay

The busy signals compromise

Your innocence and alibis

So I'm about to let you walk away

'Cause I can only let you walk away
