Left eye spins in circles
Passives line the rail
They get no satisfaction
From the electro-static breaks
A beat can’t cut the passives loose
They’re afraid what we will say
No harm is done when you try it then hide
Parts moving – keep moving

A cool collected life is a safe move
You heard that
You’re unsure but it’s clear to us
Come to terms, you’re alone here observing
Every time you go out you observe

Walk past collared passives
Don’t look toward their eyes
It adds to their discomfort
Shows there’s some confidence they miss

A cool collected life is a safe move
You heard that
You’re unsure but it’s clear to us
Come to terms, you’re alone here observing
Every time you go out you observe
