This Is Our Sound Lyrics - Ladytron

I can't seem to take you anywhere 

you ditched your friends in New York Center (?) Square 

where the rank and file shoot us dirty looks 

hail a taxicab, don't want to walk 

the nighttime here is a plastic box 

gently amplified in the basement rock 

the distant tones from the detainees 

friendly girls who pack it full of these 

when you're not around, this is our sound 

I can't seem to take you anywhere 

you ditched your friends in Williamson Square 

where the rank and file shoot us dirty looks 

hail a taxicab, don't want to walk 

the nighttime here is a plastic box 

you can amplify the basement rock 

the distant tones from the detainees 

friendly girls who pack it full of these 

when you're not around, this is our sound (this is our sound) 

when you're not around, this is our sound (this is our sound) 

when you're not around 

this is our sound 

this is not a song 

there is nothing wrong 

when the light inside 

is not as bright
