Andrew Bird - Simple X lyrics

rate me

Some people wake up on Monday mornings<br />

Barring maelstroms and red flare warnings<br />

With no explosions and no surprises<br />

Perform a series of exercises<br />

<br />

Hold your fire<br />

Take your place around an open fire<br />

<br />

Before your neurons declare a crisis<br />

Before your trace Serotonin rises<br />

Before you're reading, your coffee grounds<br />

And before a pundit could make a sound<br />

And before you're reading your list of vices<br />

Perform the simplest exercises<br />

<br />

So here we are at the end, the war is over<br />

There's nothing left to defend, no cliffs of dover<br />

So let us put down our pens and this concludes the test<br />

Our minds are scattered about from hell to breakfast<br />

<br />

Hold your fire<br />

Take your place around an open fire<br />

<br />

Before your neurons declare a crisis<br />

Before your trace Serotonin rises<br />

Before you're reading, your coffee grounds<br />

And before a pundit could make a sound<br />

And before you're reading your list of vices<br />

Perform the simplest exercises<br />

<br />

Hold, hold your fire<br />

Take your place around an open fire<br /><br />
