TV on the Radio - Repetition Lyrics

To arrive ahead of its time
Is the fate of the fish washed up on shore
Do you know that it just won't feel right
Till he's swallowed up by the tide
Thought he might know better

Capital lifestyle height
Got a head full of fever
And it feels alright
Cause I shake my bottle
And I suck my sweat
And I love how I'm livin'
Cause I caught my fill
But I can't stop thinkin'
how it's all gone wrong
Through the cracks from the obvious
before its all too long
I've abused my position
And it's cost my friends
And if the world keeps turning
I can do it again

What's the matter with your next door neighbor?
I heard he had sick drugs and danger.
But you can kick it with a complete stranger
I think I hear him calling.
What's the matter with your next door neighbor?
An act of man, a freak of nature.
You can kick it with a complete stranger
I think I hear him calling

With the tops of some heads
It's a walk in the park
If you don't gotta hope
You can see in the dark
Carry your hearts
Hail Mary, will your life unfold
I'm a man on a mission
Or so I've been told
You can choose my victims
Or can shed my skin
And if the world keeps turnin'
I can do it again
But I can't stop thinkin'
that its all gone wrong
And the truth will be out there
Before it's too long
I've abused my position
And it's cost my friends
If the world keeps turnin'
I'm gonna do it again

What's the matter with your next door neighbor?
I heard he had sick drugs and danger.
But you can kick it with a complete stranger
I think I hear him calling.
What's the matter with your next door neighbor?
An act of God, a freak of nature.
You can kick it with a complete stranger
I think the curtain is falling down!

We lock eyes
And walk away, unrecognized
We lock arms and spin
Commence our repetition
