[Intro]
Tick-tick
Clock coughs dust
Static in the sky
We dance like it’s enough
[Verse 1]
1979
Mirrorball smoke and chrome
Freon air
Cheap perfume
We called it home
Acid in the rain
Neon on the coast
Ozone peeling back
Like a holy ghost
[Chorus]
Time is out of time
We keep spinning in a straight line
All the years collide
On this floor
On this fault line
Hold me while we fall
Through the end of every skyline
Time is out of time
Out of time
Out of time
[Verse 2]
1999
Midnight
Silver screens
Towers made of glass
Burning gasoline
Plastic in the tide
Satellites like flies
Ash along the jet streams
Graffiti in the skies
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[whispered vocals] 2045
Cities built on smoke
Gardens grown in metal
Every river choked
[low vocal register] 3001
Sun a swollen bruise
We’re dancing in the ruins
With nothing left to lose
[Chorus]
[Outro]
One last beat
Then none
One last breath
Then none
[crescendo] All our ages
Folded
Intertwined
[soft female harmonies] Time is out of time
