NADA SURF LYRICS - Whose Authority

"Whose Authority"



Everyone's right and no one is sorry

That's the start and the end of the story

From the sharks and the jets to the call in the morning



Everyone's right and no one is sorry

That's the start and the end of the story

From the sharks and the jets to the call in the morning

And life is just bits anyway



Look alive see these bones

What you are now, we were once



Try as they might, no one's immune to

Misfiring and acting on the wrong clues

And thinking it's time to redo redo



I feel rain in the movies and the talk before the screen lights

I hear strings in the park

I don't like to call her right unless its too late at night

I mostly just think in the dark



Look alive see these bones

What you are now, we were once

But just like we are

You'll be dust

And just like we are

Permanent



You were too tired to eat

Too hungry to sleep

Just imagine the speed

It's just what you need



Look alive, you see these bones

What you are now, we were once

And just like we are

You'll be dust

And just like we are

Permanent



The lights in the city are more or less blinking

Which side of the story decides what you're thinking

We're a moans and cold faces

We're squinting, we're hurrying

We take inventory

We're digging, we're burrying



Do you remember when the lines blow?

Do you remember when it failed

Do you remember when we went to your house?

Remember ringing the bell?



Look alive, see these bones

What you are now, we were once

Just like we are

You'll be dust

And just like we are

Permanent



The lights in the city are more or less blinking (look alive)

Which side of the story decides what you're thinking (see these bones)

We're moans and cold faces (what you are now)

We're squinting, we're hurrying (we were once)

We take inventory

We're digging, we're burrying



Do you remember when the lights low?

Do you remember when it failed?

Do you remember when we went to your house?

Remember ringing the bell? [2x]



Look alive see these bones [2x]
