She's Got Her Seatbelt On

It's come to this
Waited two years for this
Golden opportunities
One, red-tinged and north of the river
The other, bleak and blue, by the mission
I'll take one
I prefer two
None would be a disappointment

Take the body with you (sing the sequel)
Take the body with you (lotus position)
Take the body with you (it's an abstract world)
Take the body with you (portals, icicles)

The force of wonder made me blink
The eyes intolerant of passersby
Golden opportunities, gold sounds, gold lion
Red-headed stranger on the brink

It's strange, the darkness leads you through
The light, the black, the orange, the same songs
You heard in a Tears for Fears blur
Or a Blur flash in your lying eyes
She told me the end was never coming
That the city on a Saturday was a blessing
That if I stayed and watched the crowds form, I'd be good
Today I sleep, in cul de sac Hollywood
What goes on
