Microtonic Wave Lyrics by Pinback

Some Offcell Voices

2003

[Verse 1: Rob Crow]
How can I just set a part that's so full?
How can I just read a part that's so cold?
You feeling depressed?
You can fill in the rest
How 'bout when they read to you?
How 'bout when you sang right along?
How 'bout when they read from these zines?
How 'bout when you read right along?

[Chorus: Armistead Burwell Smith IV]
Begin transmission of our position
Receive transmission of their position
We're trapped in the drift
Entirely inside alone
A microtonic wave forces us further

[Verse 2: Rob Crow & Armistead Burwell Smith IV]
How 'bout when they read to you?
How 'bout when you sang right along?
How 'bout when they read from these zines?
How 'bout when you read right along?
I can see your mouth move, know you're lying
Another generation of kids not buying
You feeling the crush (A microtonic wave)
To get out of town?

[Chorus: Armistead Burwell Smith IV]
Begin transmission of our position
Receive transmission of their position
We're trapped in the drift
Entirely inside alone

[Bridge: Rob Crow]
Caught inside the booth
Hanging up the phone
Covered in loose change and bits of paper
Crawled inside the store
Clinging onto no one
Covered in his shame
Hang me by my thumbs
Cauterize my scars in scum

[Chorus: Armistead Burwell Smith IV & Rob Crow]
Begin transmission of our position
Receive transmission of their position
We're trapped in the drift (They fall further)
Entirely inside alone
A microtonic wave forces us further (They fall further down)
Take them home
Take them home
