HISTORY BOOKS AND DIRTY LOOKS
ALL SHOOK DOWN WHILE WE'RE LOOKING FOR CROOKS
THE PAST IS THE LAW STILL COVERED IN FLAWS
YOU PICK UP THE PHONE WHENEVER IT CALLS

I'M GOOD FOR A SPOOK IF THE ROUTE IS CLEAR
KEEPING MY PARACHUTE COCKED AND NEAR
LOCKED IN THE FUTURE BY TURNING BACK
NEVER AN EXIT OFF A CIRCULAR TRACK

IF YOU SAY IT IS ALL OVER
LOOK OVER YOUR SHOULDER
THERE ARE HEADLIGHTS GAINING ON YOU

LICKING OUR WOUNDS AND SETTING COURSE
IF THEY CAN'T WIN THEN THEY'LL TAKE IT BY FORCE
FOREVER ON TOUR WITH OUR PREVIOUS SELF
NOT WHO WE REMEMBER AND NOT MUCH HELP

THE RED QUEEN'S LAUGHING WHILE STACKING THE DECK
THE HOUSE CAN'T LOSE BUT WE STILL ALL BET
THE DEBT GETS PAID WHEN WE COME 'ROUND AGAIN
NOSTALGIA'S SWEETER WITH EVERY SPIN

IF YOU SAY IT IS ALL OVER
LOOK OVER YOUR SHOULDER
THERE ARE HEADLIGHTS GAINING ON YOU

LA LA LA LA

ENERGY LOST IS ENERGY FOUND
AND ONCE WE'RE DONE WITH YOU WE'LL PASS IT AROUND
WOUND UP TIGHTER THAN AN OLD MISTAKE
YOU GO ON THE RED BUT SOMEONE HITS THE BREAKS

WE'RE SORRY IT WASN'T WHAT YOU'D HOPED IT'D BE
DON'T WORRY WE ALL LIVE VICARIOUSLY
SLEEP SOON BEFORE THE CLOCK HITS TWO
BEFORE YU KNOW IT YOUR TIME IS THROUGH
