SNOW PATROL LYRICS - Disaster Button

"Disaster Button"



A little after twelve

The function suite was full

Of people I had never seen before



Ripped up ticket stubs

Confettied on the floor

It dawned on me I'd seen it all before



Cool your beans my son

You look a fucking mess

No ones getting out of here tonight



Hit that button there

The one that just says wrong

We'll lose our minds to all our favourite songs



Throw forward to later

you look light on your feet

When you whirled in the room

I was nailed to my seat



I'm like a prisoner

getting ready to talk

I feel the blood in my hands

and the threat in your walk



And suddenly

it lifts the roof off the place

It puts a vault in my step

And a grin on my face



It can't contain me

but you'll need an army

To get me back in my box

Or snap the branches off me



A little after four

The function suite is dead

And I am just a ripped up ticket stub



But heres a helping hand

A voice that's far to close

And I am up and on my broken limbs



Throw forward to later

you look light on your feet

When you whirled in the room

I was nailed to my seat



I'm like a prisoner

getting ready to talk

I feel the blood in my hands

and the threat in your walk



And suddenly

it lifts the roof off the place

It puts a vault in my step

And a grin on my face



It can't contain me

but you'll need an army

To get me back in my box

Or snap the branches off me



And suddenly

it lifts the roof off the place

It puts a vault in my step

And a grin on my face



It can't contain me

but you'll need an army

To get me back in my box

Or snap the branches off me
