June Swoon - Transatlantic Accent Lyrics



June Swoon - Transatlantic Accent Lyrics




Stuck in an elevator in Jerusalem
Where the coming of Christ wouldn't change my mind
A vampire asked for directions in the hotel lobby
We were tongue-tied until he forked over change for the movies
You always loved the movies

And what do I have to show for it now
Adrenaline and dopamine run out
What do I have to show for it now
Home movies all collecting dust

Nocturnal with writer's block in Austin
Where we collided like junebugs into light
Your body stretched over sheets made out of linen
You were never calm unless you were sleeping
And sometimes not even then
You'd rather be anxious
Thought it made you a better comic
Man, I miss listening to you process
Although it made me feel stupid

And what do I have to show for it now
Adrenaline and dopamine run out
What do I have to show for it now
Home movies all collecting dust

Once, I was 80 pounds soaking wet
Determined to use a transatlantic accent
Now, hometown heroes don't do it for me anymore
So I never unpack and I sleep on the floor
At least, I often do, except when I'm with you

And what do I have to show for it now
Adrenaline and dopamine run out
What do I have to show for it now
Home movies
Home movies
Home movies all collecting dust
