There's a band on stage tonight And every note they play turns it's back to you But still you wanna add them to the sad list of things you've said "Yes" to And they don't wanna save your life They just want to distract you for a while And the new dance craze is the same as the old one: The unsustainable lifestyle There's only so much oxygen Left in the room When they ask you about The Great Smoothing Down, will you tell them what you saw? Heavy-lidded eyes pledging allegiance to the soft hands that come from living above the law And irony was the only weapon on your shelf, but you were too embarra**ed to use it to defend yourself There's only so much oxygen Left in the room
