Straitjacket

Lyrics

I fill my cup with an insatiable swell
 I draw my water from a virtual well
 Yes, I'm dying of thirst
 But it doesn't taste so bad
 I dreamed my family took a trip on a boat
 Treacherous creatures began stirring below
 And as the ship went down
 I began to shout, "But what about my phone?"
 I woke up singing, "Come on, baby"
 Hold me like a straitjacket
 Control me like a maniac
 I wanna taste the kiss of your digital bliss
 I say I'm leaving but you
 Know me so much better than that
 Sh-sh-show me anything except for
 What's directly in front of me
 ♪
 The world keeps spinning round in spite of ourselves
 You'll find us dangling in our virtual cells
 Bathing in perspectives
 Each of them reflective of our own
 No matter how hard you try, you just can't hide from yourself
 You maliciously carouse inside of an anonymous hell
 But when your ship goes down
 You'll be stuck with the sounds of words buried in your throat
 They won't stop singing, "Come on, baby
 Touch me, baby
 Squeeze me, baby"
 Hold me like a straitjacket
 Control me like a maniac
 I wanna taste the kiss of your digital bliss
 I say I'm leaving but you
 Know me so much better than that
 Sh-sh-show me anything except for
 What's directly in front of me
 ♪
 The bombs are falling, we'll go back to the land
 Mourning the ghosts we once tattooed to our hands
 With a final bow
 I'll shout that this never was my home
 I'll go out screaming, "Come on, baby"
 Hold me like a straitjacket
 Control me like a maniac
 I wanna taste the kiss of your digital bliss
 I say I'm leaving but you
 Know me so much better than that-that-that-that-that
 Unfold me like a blanket and lay me in your lap
 Mold me in the image of a doormat
 I'm longing for the fix of your tentacle grip
 And don't you ever let me go, don't let me go
 Let me go, please
 Hold me like a straitjacket
 Control me like a maniac
 I wanna taste the kiss of your digital bliss
 I say I'm leaving but you
 Know me so much better than that
 Console me, indulge me
 Atone me, or dispose of me
 Show me anything except for what's directly affecting me
 I can't sit here pretending that I'm impressed with reality
 It's nothing personal, no it's much, much worse
 I just know there's something better than this
 ♪
 Hold me like a straitjacket
 Control me like a maniac
 I wanna taste the kiss of your digital bliss
 I say I'm leaving but you know me
