Chris Walla - Expo '86 lyrics

[Verse 1] Sometimes I think this cycle never ends We slide from top to bottom then we turn and climb again And it seems by the time that I have figured what it's worth The squeaking of our skin against the steel has gotten worse But if I move my place in line, I'll lose And I have waited, the anticipation's got me glued I am waiting for something to go wrong I am waiting for familiar resolve [Verse 2] Sometimes it seems that I don't have the sk**s to recollect The twists and turns of plot that turned us from lovers to friends I'm thinking I should take that volume back up off the shelf And crack its weary spine and read to help remind myself But if I move my place in line, I'll lose And I have waited, the anticipation's got me glued [Verse 3] I am waiting for something to wrong I am waiting for familiar resolve I am waiting for another repeat Another diet fed by crippling defeat And I am waiting for that sense of relief I am waiting for you to flee the scene As if you held in your hand the smoking gun And on the floor lay the one you said you loved [Verse 4] And it's strange They're all basically the same So I don't ask names anymore Sometimes I think this cycle never ends We slide from top to bottom then we turn and climb again And it seems by the time that I have figured what it's worth The squeaking of our skin against the steel has gotten worse The squeaking of our skin against the steel has gotten worse The squeaking of our skin against the steel has gotten worse
