Continent Lyrics - Kind Of Like Spitting

Dumb and numb, from young and wired 

All I do is wait 

Pushy and hungry for more 

Curtis, do you know what our lives are for now? 

That it's been 3 weeks and no one talks about you anymore? 

All I do is wait 

We are a sea of fragility 

And so ready to surf the sink 

'Til the sponges are flooded and we're all forced underneath 

All I do is wait 

I'm so good at condescending 

It's so good for my weak ego 

Can't get past what comes naturally to me 

It comes natural to use 

There's a fairness in the city 

There's a new smell in the air 

Satisfaction promised 

But the sentiment ends there 

All the Capricorn reactions 

In the river up to my knees 

A hundred little baby fishes 

With baby bottle mouths to feed 

Crooners crawl themselves like whores 

Across the barroom floor 

My mother used to hold me, 

I hold her now that she's old 

After all it's just a notion 

Nothing really in the end 

'Til a good one leaves the continent 

You just can't write words to send 

I guess everything's just perfect 

It's all true, what you've been told 

Run and tell your good friends that you just got sold
