Lyrics

Archive Material

[Verse 1]

I got friends in a necktie

While digging in the archive

Even death won’t take you back

On a proper nine-to-five

Whilst digging in the archive

Hit me up at the Silverteque

[Chorus]

Ils s'entendent pas

[Verse 2]

Sweating buckets in the restroom

Getting high on the archive

What a time to be alive

I saw death in a necktie

Whilst digging in thе archive

Even dogs don’t do that

[Chorus]
