In Action (EP)

We Are Scientists In Action (EP) Lyrics
1.Selective Memory

I'm waking up past noon
I'm never sure what day it is
I'm wishing I was you
I'm wishing I was anybody else

I'm buried underneath
These opportunities
Selective Memory
Well I'll bet you'll forget about me

I'm tired of all the pain
I'm tired of all the problems that I've caused
I'm tired of all the things
I should have instead of staying home

I'm buried underneath
These opportunities
Selective Memory
Well I'll bet you'll forget about me

Well if there was a problem I can't solve, I'd just forget about
I've always had everything I've ever wanted, and never doubted
that I'd not only have my cake and eat it too
but lately something tells me I've been fooled
well, ah, that you'll forget about me

I'm buried underneath
These opportunities
Selective Memory
Well I'll bet you'll forget about me

I'm buried underneath
These opportunities
Selective Memories
Well I'll bet you'll forget about me
I'll bet you forget about me
I'll bet you forget about me
I'll bet you forget about me
I'll bet you forget about me


2.Coming Clean

I've been waiting to go
Thirty seconds and slowly counting
Everything that I know I'm doubting
It's so

Check ignition and drive
There must be something that I've forgotten
Everything that I've ever wanted
Was so

If I was wrong then I was wrong
But I'm coming clean
I'm coming clean
I'm coming clean
I'm coming clean
Whatever that means

I must have did it again
I put all of my friends behind me
How the hell will they ever find me
It's so

Was I out of my mind
I'm not sure what I'm trying to do here
All I know is no sign of movement
It's old

(Chorus)

Just because I didn't understand
Doesn't mean that it's not wrong
I'll call it if it's wrong

(Chorus)


3.That One Pop Gem

I've been wasting my vacation
Flipping through these hundred stations
And my body's fine
But my head's seen better days

Well your wake was pretty boring
Too much drinking, too much mourning
And your uncle broke my ribs and made me cry
Ooooh

I don't wanna take another bow
I don't wanna stay and hang around
And I don't wanna tell anyone else about my life
I don't wanna be the one who choked
Or be the butt of all your little jokes
I don't want you to leave me here alone, all right

Well I pulled out all my teeth and
Then I brought them to the beach and
Then I threw them one by one into the sea
And watched them sail

I don't wanna take another bow
I don't wanna stay and hang around
And I don't wanna tell anyone else about my life
I don't wanna be the one who choked
Or be the butt of all your little jokes
I don't want you to leave me here alone, all right

Well I was having much more fun
When I thought we were

I don't wanna take another bow
I don't wanna stay and hang around
And I don't wanna tell anyone else about my life
I don't wanna be the one who chokes
Or be the butt of all your little jokes
I don't want you to leave me here alone, all right

All right
Oh oh oh oh
All right


4.Riffmaster B

Now everything is operational so I begin with the residual
What seems like the hundred thousandth time
It seems that somewhere down the line something important's gone
awry and I can't right this wrong

It doesn't matter what we tell ourselves
We know that formulas and measurements don't always measure up
the truth
It's that these empirical solutions aren't nearly quite as
foolproof as we'd like to think

So I'll say:
Settle down

Settle down
We can't let panic grip us
If we let panic grip us, everything is lost and I'll say:
Settle down

Settle down
We can't get caught up in this
If we get caught up in this, everything is lost, oh yeah

Now everything is operational so I begin with the residual

5.Secret Handshake

Gotta sell some posse
Think its really something
Everyones invited
Aint nobody coming

As if nothing is ever gonna happen
Nothing is ever gonna happen
Nothing is ever gonna happen
Nothing is ever gonna happen

Every conversation
Ends just like it started
Got a secret handshake
Use it way too often

As if nothing is ever gonna happen
Nothing is ever gonna happen
Nothing is ever gonna happen
Nothing is ever gonna happen

Everybody's thinking
Everybody's searching
Everybody's circling around themselves
Its a competition
Everybody's better
We may not be winning
Get insp.? for effort

As if nothing is ever gonna happen
Nothing is ever gonna happen
Nothing is ever gonna happen
Nothing is ever gonna happen


6.Bomb Inside The Bomb (EP)

Blindin',
Flash of yellow,
Lying slightly
Below the skin.
Windin',
Like a halo,
In a spiral around your head.

It's like a bomb inside the bomb.
It's like a bomb inside the bomb.
It's like a bomb inside the bomb.

Layered,
Like an onion,
Always peeling
Back again.
Tiered,
Russian doll skin,
It's fuckin' deadly
Is what it is.

It's like a bomb inside the bomb.
It's like a bomb inside the bomb.
It's like a bomb inside the bomb.

It's like a bomb inside the bomb.
It's like a bomb inside the bomb.
It's like a bomb inside the bomb.

It's like a bomb inside the bomb.
It's like a bomb inside the bomb.
It's like a bomb inside the bomb
