Busy Signals

Woo-hoo
We're a sounding contradiction
A pieced-together picture
Of a satellite trying to fly
Woo-hoo
This is feeling like stick-up
And I'm about to plan my getaway
A-woo-hoo
Yes, better late than never
It's scary but whatever
At least it didn't lead me to lie
Woo-hoo
Even I'm prepared to settle
But I'm not about to give my heart away
To subjects without predicates

You chain me to the telephone
To keep me close when you're alone
I'm hanging up, you're begging me to stay
The busy signals compromise
Your innocence and alibis
So I'm about to let you walk away

Woo-hoo
This is easier than lying
I'm not afraid of dying
But it doesn't mean I'm ready to go
Woo-hoo
All the animals are trying
But I just wanna survive anyway
A-woo-hoo
We're a dangerous progression
A volatile succession
A saturation ready to blow
Woo-hoo
It's a chemical reaction
The acids and the bases break away
In subjects without predicates

You chain me to the telephone
To keep me close when you're alone
I'm hanging up, you're begging me to stay
The busy signals compromise
Your innocence and alibis
So I'm about to let you walk away

We're trapped
Tangled in the slack
A finger on the trigger
And a saddle on her back
So get back
Skeletons attract
We'll never take it easy
And we'll never take it back
'Cause we're trapped
Tangled in the slack
We'll never take it easy
And we'll never take it back, yeah

You chain me to the telephone
To keep me close when you're alone
I'm hanging up, you're begging me to stay
The busy signals compromise
Excuses, threats, and alibis
So I'm about to let you walk away

You chain me to the telephone
To keep me close when you're alone
I'm hanging up, you're begging me to stay
The busy signals compromise
Your innocence and alibis
So I'm about to let you walk away
'Cause I can only let you walk away
