The War on Drugs - Barrel of Batteries Lyrics

If I say then I mean for a reason
That you’re a ghost
You’re a ghost in the rain
And I’m a barrel
I’m a barrel of batteries
With ice on the floor
She wants to learn more
‘bout losin’ my soul in the new world war.
Laughter strikes
Laughter strikes in the mornin’
Laughter burns all day
‘cuz if you knew what the river holds
Then you won’t go where the river flows
And I will say you had it comin’
Yeah, with eyes on the floor
She wants to learn more
‘bout sleepin’ alone in the new world war.
