The New p**nographers - Whiteout Conditions lyrics

[Verse 1: A.C. Newman] Flying and feeling the ceiling And barely dealing And the faintest, the faintest of praises Are too revealing Such a waste of a beautiful day Someone should say it Such a waste of the only impossible, logical way in A fly-in at LA was open I wasn't hoping for a win I was hoping for freedom You couldn't beat 'em So you crumbled, you doubled your dosage You wanna go, said the inhibitor blocking the pa**age That thing is ma**ive [Bridge: A.C. Newman & Kathryn Calder] And the sky will come for you once Just sit tight until it's done The sky will come for you once Just sit tight until it's done [Verse 2: A.C. Newman] Got so hooked on a feeling I started dealing In a stage of grief so demanding I got a stand-in Every radio buzzing, it wasn't the dream of the moment Wasn't the current that carried me, keeping me going [Chorus: Neko Case & Kathryn Calder] Only want to get to work But every morning I'm too sick to drive Suffering whiteout conditions Forget the mission, just get out alive Only want to glean the purpose Only to scratch the surface, raise the plow Suffering whiteout conditions Forget your mission, just get out somehow [Verse 3: A.C. Newman] Everyone suddenly busy Suddenly dizzy You're so easy, it's pushing you over They're taking tours Of a treacherous trip of the badlands You have your demands Maybe you're right, but nothing is just a bad hand [Chorus: Neko Case & Kathryn Calder] Only want to get to work But every morning I'm too sick to drive Suffering whiteout conditions Forget the mission, just get out alive Only want to glean the purpose Only to scratch the surface, raise the plow Suffering whiteout conditions Forget your mission, just get out somehow [Verse 4: A.C. Newman] Finally flying the ceiling I see myself And the revival, it suddenly hits me It's going viral Such a waste of a beautiful day Someone should say it Such a waste of the only impossible, logical way in Got so hooked on a feeling I started dealing But the days spent kicking the cages Are too revealing So committed to your misfortune But still a cheater Such a waste of a beautiful day Wish you could be here
