Words Sound Like Drums Lyrics by Taking Pictures

Friends Are Ghosts

2002

[Verse 1]
Hand in tight fists at the typewriter
The words will just not come
In times like these, there's just one solution
Rest your face on the keys
Scratch out the words
Scratch out the words
[Verse 2]
Sweat beads and drips onto the paper
Words bleed into black clouds
In times like these, there's just one solution
Rest your hands on the keys
Listen to me
Listen to me
[Bridge 2]
So ashamed, so uninspired
A single fall, in single file
So ashamed, so fucking tired
A single fall, in single file
So ashamed, so roll your eyes
A single fall, in single file
[Bridge 1]
We are taking notice
We are making documents
And cannot remain seated
For this performance
We are taking notice
We are making documents
And cannot remain seated
For this performance
All this information
Reflects through colored lenses
From your television
Through selected fences
All this information
Reflects through colored lenses
From your television
Through selected fences
All the words that sound like
The words that sound like drums
Attached to strings in the air
Just barely out of reach
All the words that sound like
The words that sound like drums
Attached to strings in the air
Just barely out of reach
