Lyrics

Forced Motion

I need the combination to unlock your code

I need the combination to unlock your code

We need you on set

We need you on set now

I wish I could decipher your letter

We need you on set

We need you on set now

We're burning daylight it's so far

I wish I could decipher your letter

Broken bulbs white flashes surround you

Smashed plates and glasses haunt you

It's a simple (method) that's true

(I blame your) sadness on you

Guide me, test me, force me through these motions
