AT A TIME LIKE THIS

I keep my soul on high alert I keep it all on high alert At a time like this At a time like this Mixed in the glass till I end up on a list Spirits on the floor till they learn to coexist They’ll be missed At a time like this, I wish At a time like this Call it, call it, call it what you want Karma karma in the current when it’s calm ohh At a time like this, it’s strong (ohh) At a time like this The old timer told me not to bother He thought getting old would take way longer Scraping all the rust off of his armor Melting in my hands like salt in water Spoken like the father of a father I thought getting old would take way longer I thought getting old would make me stronger At a time like this Ooh M.I M.I.A MI MI MIA (mi mia) Put em on VHF, tell em send them my way (better send them my way) Gold on my body as it all went my way (yeah it all went my way) God stained my body, crashing my getaway (yeah yeah) I could hear the pain from the landline (yeah yeah) You were too young to be the bad guy You were just a child, life just happened to you Sleeping on the wheel when it backed into you At a time like this At a time like this Mixed in the glass with the spirits from the bottle I wanna leave a message for that person from tomorrow And when it’s all gone, no one wants to take requests What’s the point in trying at a time like… At a time like this Mixed in the glass till I end up on a list Spirits on the floor till they learn to exist They’ll be missed Why bother filling an abyss What’s the point in dying at a time like this Like this Call it, call it, call it what you want But there’s karma in the current when it’s calm Whatever gets me, gets me Don’t get me wrong Whatever gets me probably had me all along Call it, call it, call it what you want But there’s karma in the current when it’s calm Whatever gets me, gets me Don’t get me wrong Whatever gets me probably had me all along At a time like this At a time like this At a time like this At a time like this I keep my soul on high alert I keep it all on high alert I keep on watching till it hurts I keep on going till it works out I keep it all on high alert I keep on dancing till it hurts At a time like this At a time like this I was born in the wrong With a puzzle to solve Where the colors dissolve Ohhh Just keep holding your breath, yea When the tunnels collapse, ahh And the wish is intact Ohhh And the guilt comes in on 2 And the guilt comes in When the walls cave in on you They become your skin At a time like this At a time like this They might as well, they went- There goes the wind Turn the engine! It’s a gorgeous island
