Ben Gibbard - Scientist Studies lyrics

What ghosts exist behind these attic walls There's got to be a simpler explanation Cause I scrimped and I saved Just to find that they've been splicing my inventions Cold skin and bones at this latitude We ain't paying til the heat comes through So you slept in a stocking cap and wool scarf and the Promises of payments were Upon your shoulders constantly But don't forget to entertain Cause this is your first defense Four-year offense to the devoted type I may have got an invitation, but I wasn't invited But I thought that this meant Something more than broken hearts and new addictions We'll leave our sins within the carpet twine Our bodies will dissolve the chemicals in due time Promises of payments were Upon your shoulders constantly But don't forget to entertain Cause this is your first defense This is your first defense This is a first defense This was a first defense This is my last defense
