Dead Air

[Verse 1]

I've been suffocating all night

Too much of nothing made me get uptight

And I get this for my shot nerves

And say it's this that you deserve

Do you wanna live in a soft shell

Or knuckle under the hard sell?

And when your arms still crave their fill

But when you're ashamed you want your twenty dollar bill

[Chorus]

Dead air

Don't let it be spoken

A record's broken

Skipping until it wears away

Here in this

Dead air

And you never say nothing

Dead air between you and me

[Verse 2]

I've been suffocating all night

Too much of nothing made me get uptight

You're in a rut with your hard-on

"It'd take no guts to be a Don Juan"

To go around brooding and tight

When you got no reason for brooding

You've become completely sick

You don't give a shit

You just wanna forget

[Chorus]

Dead air

Don't let it be spoken

A record's broken

Skipping until it wears away

Here in this

Dead air

And you never say nothing

Dead air between you and me

[Instrumental Interlude]

[Bridge]

I've been brooding all night

I got no reason for brooding

I don't know what I'm doing

I keep trying to speak out loud

[Refrain]

Dead air

Dead air between you and me

Dead air

Dead air between you and me

[Outro]

Dead air between you and me

Dead air between you and me
