At The Drive-In - Continuum Lyrics

I'll drop a dime on you first
I'll drop a dime on you first

Lest the backside of my hand find you sleeping hand over fist soliciting headlines again
Groping the porcelain rim of a microfiche reader ransacking dawn
You'll try and pry yourself from a quick grave in a sleuth's boneyard
But that paper trail you've fawned over so much is just a dead language

Take your armor off
Play that executioner's song
What's the matter now
Are your feet bitten by frost?

I'll drop a dime on you first
Commotion sickness with Dramamine pills
Commute my sentence to the 13th floor now
I'll drop a dime on you first
Placebo buttons maim all the tattle tails
When the dosage doesn't seem to work now
I'll drop a dime on you first

You might just serve out the rest of your life soaked in the deprivation of a Faraday tank
Laughing your hyena fractures of false alarms
You've been party to subterfuge since Jesus was incorporeal
It's just scaffolding with no building to demolish

Take your armor off
Play that executioner's song
What's the matter now
Are your feet bitten by frost?

I'll drop a dime on you first
Commotion sickness with Dramamine pills
Commute my sentence to the 13th floor now
I'll drop a dime on you first
Placebo buttons maim all the tattle tails
When the dosage doesn't seem to work now
I'll drop a dime on you first

Fleet of foot, beat the rising tide
Cinder block soles in the clear of my throat
Do you know what I found?
Do you know what I found?
Agitate the crowds, let them coin the phrase
Found you hiding out in the alpha hotel now
Do you know what I found?

Orchards gas lit and cover the footprints
All points bulletin load up your commissary
Fifth point of contact
The amateur noose is willing
Fifth point of contact
The amateur noose calls
And when it calls
And when it calls
And there's always a subpoena for the past

I think I'll drop a dime, I think I'll drop a dime
I think I'll drop a dime, I think I'll drop a dime I think

I'll drop a dime on you first
Commotion sickness with Dramamine pills
Commute my sentence to the 13th floor now
I'll drop a dime on you first
Placebo buttons maim all the tattle tails
When the dosage doesn't seem to work now
I'll drop a dime on you first

I'll drop a dime on you first
I'll drop a dime on you first
