Velocity Of Sound

The Apples In Stereo Velocity Of Sound Lyrics
1.Rainfall

Downtown is like a slot machine
Shine neon signs and stoplights turn to green
Sit down, the moon is in my hair
It shines upon the rainfall in the air
I see you everyday
I watch you as you talk away
I often think of things to say
But I just watch you as you walk away
Cross-town the street is like a stream
Asphalt and people driving in a dream
Slow down, the moon is in my eyes
It shines upon the rainfall by the roadside
The rainfall
The rain falls down on the ground
It's down on the ground
The rainfall
the rainfall's bringing me down
It's bringing me down


2.That's Something I Do

Your friends hate my guts
They think that you're nuts
For hanging out with me yeah
'Cause I don't have a pedigree
They think that I'm mean
Just because I make a scene
It's their society yeah
That makes me wanna scream
You know, that's something I do once in a while
You know, that's something I do to make you smile
Your friends think it's lame
That you don't play the game
They're gonna look back one day
And see that you put them to shame
They think it's uncool
That we dropped out of school
We're gonna go back someday
For now we wanna play the fool
They think they're better than that
They think they're better than that
They think they're better than that, girl


3.Do You Understand?

Looking in the looking glass
Is that a person there?
His face is drawn his eyes are downcast
In the distant past
Is there a lesson there?
The lesson is it ain't gonna last
If I had my day
I'd burn down the factories
That sicken me and make the weather gray
If I had my way
I'd tear down the memories
I'm chicken and I wanna run away
Hey there do you understand
Why I hold a dagger in my hand?
Hey there do you understand
Why I hold a trigger in my hand?
Upon distant sands
The waves fall heavily
Feels heavy like my head in my hands
What I don't understand
You keep calling back on me
You kick me out yet you keep me in demand
The other day you looked the other way
Hey, hey I need to get away
The other day you looked the other way
Hey hey you tried to get away


4.Where We Meet

I wanna land on my feet
Leave a hole in the street
Every day
I wanna sleep on the stone
In the light all alone
Every day
And in the street that's where we meet
I wanna stand on my hands
I wanna sit in the sand
Every day
I wanna sleep all around
Chase the light on the ground
Every day
And in the street that's where we meet
And in the street dust on our feet


5.Better Days

You've seen better days my friend
But I've seen days that would not end
I've seen things that never came to be
Sitting and sifting through the soft debris
You've seen better days than me
I think on that we can agree
And we don't agree on many things
'Cause I'm the one with hoofs
And you're the one with wings
See what you've done
Why don't you see what you've done?
You've seen better days than me
I think on that we both can agree
And we don't agree on anything
'Cause I'm the one that shouts
And you're the one that sings
You've seen better days my friend
But i've seen things that I cannot defend
I've seen things that never came to light
And that's the reason I can even sleep at night
See what you've done
Why don't you see what you've done?
What have you done?


6.I Want

Something
I need for something
Something to be
Exactly as I see
I need for something
Nothing
I want for nothing
Nothing to be
The way you believe
I ask for nothing
I don't want to sell my secrets to you
I'll be telling you the things that I believe
I just wanna have a secret or two
To share with you when it's what you really need
Something
I wanted something
Something to do
When I'm with you
I wanted something
I don't want to sell my secrets to you
I'll be telling you the things I believe
I just wanna have a secret or two
To share with you when it's what you really need
Nothing
Nothing to be
The way you believe
I ask for nothing
I don't want to sell my secrets to you
I'll be telling you the things I believe
I just wanna have a secret or two
To share with you when it's what you really need


7.Mystery

In the misty garden
frozen leaves are possed like mannequins
they wanna see the sunrise
flashing fingers catch the morning light
I wanna be there like that
following the day, following the day
On the distant sunset
how a bird can lift its wings like that
such an act of bravery
in the presence of such majesty
I wanna be there like that
following the day, following the day
You know I see the mistery between you and me
with such clarity it blows me away
you know that we've got history between you and me
and I don't wanna see us throw it away
oh no
On the twisting highway
headlamps and moonlight light the way
I'm gonna drive right through the night
when you wake up I'll be sleeping there right by your side
I wanna be there like that
following the day, following the day
You know I see the mistery between you and me
with such clarity it blows me away
you know that we've got history between you and me
and I don't wanna see us throw it away
oh no
I wanna be there with you
following the day, following the day
You know I see the mistery between you and me
with such clarity it blows me away
you know that we've got history between you and me
and I don't wanna see us throw it away
oh no
You know I see the mistery between you and me
with such clarity it blows me away
you know that we've got history between you and me
and I don't wanna see us throw it away
oh no


8.Baroque

In the moonlight I see my memories
In a new light, they seem so real to me
I remember, you know I remember

And the starlight tripping in the sky
Come on, we can still go there tonight
I remember, you know I remember

We haven't changed
We just feel a little strange
We haven't changed
We're just a little bit deranged

In the moonlight I think about the past
And in hindsight, I knew it wouldn't last
I remember, you know I remember

And the starlight skipping on the bay
Come on, we can still go there today
I remember, you know I remember

We haven't changed
We just feel a little strange
We haven't changed
We're just a little bit deranged

In the moonlight I see my memories
I realize I need you here with me
I remember, you know I remember

We haven't changed
We just feel a little strange
We haven't changed
We're just a little bit deranged
