Flatlining (With No Death Bed)

I couldn't hear the news Over the subway screeches on a loop Hey that's my cue To move back under that rickety roof And I heard the death bell toll Didn't have to pick up the phone to know We're beyond damage control From two thousand miles out I pick out that ringing tone Flatlining With a tremendous view Not even death beds Will cradle you Flatlining With a tremendous view Not even death beds Will cradle you Treading the green tightrope just above my pillow Ran into my ex-excuse For being spineless at the toll booth When they let me through I foresaw the apocalypse in the rearview Here's something for you to chew Taste the sensation of bending truth United in we don't have a clue I'm content with my home my car and backyard barbecues Flatlining With a tremendous view Not even death beds Will cradle you Flatlining With a tremendous view Not even death beds Will cradle you Treading the green tightrope just above my pillow In light of recent events We're prolonging the global accident So this is what they meant By honoring his excellence In light of recent events We're prolonging the status quo illness So this is what they meant By honoring his excellence So this is what they meant
