Sediment - Pinback

Every phone call, every single wasted breath

Is always taken down

There’s at least a single paragraph a day

On numbers you left out

Single out a camera to focus on

Burn another bridge with your smile

It’s a made up conversation

It’s supposed to take you a while

There is a message from the company

On your way to the park

There is an agent who will greet you

Hand off the plates and go dark

There is the danger of complicity (Stay on target)

All they need is a spark (Stay on point)

If they can see through your duplicity (Keep to the mission)

Check if your wine glass is marked (Stay in the moment)

One false turn and it all starts again

In a villa on the outskirts of Taormina

They’re staking your room out

On a rogue tip off a busker in Vienna

Who rolled you once down south

Churchill even painted a burro there, yeah

Really isn’t part of your style

Is this a made up confrontation

Are you keeping us in denial

You dropped your boarding pass for Tuscany

Your train is prepped to embark

There is a separate continuity

The poisoned watermark

There is a message from the company (Stay on target)

On your way to the park (Stay on point)

There is an agent who will greet you (Keep to the mission)

Hand off the plates and go dark (Stay in the moment)

There is the danger of complicity (Stay on target)

All they need is a spark (Stay on point)

If they can see through your duplicity (Keep to the mission)

Check if your wine glass is marked (Stay in the moment)

One false turn and it all starts over again
