Pinback - Sediment Lyrics

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 I need is a spark
Stay on point
If they can see through your duplicity
Keep to the mission
Check if your wineglass 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
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

One false turn and it all starts
All over again
