VERSE 1
It’s hard to maintain silence while the walls are burning

I’ve been drinking to keep down the heaves

We’re the liars, the fakes and the thieves

So we dance by flailing our arms to the rhythm
Of who ever’s pouring the drinks

Arms bend, break back and the veins are starting to leak


VERSE 2
Yeah we smash our heals and we rid our soles
As the hands are clearing the air

And the records are skipping, the lines are repeating, you can feel them starting to tear

Arms bend, Arms bend
Arms bend back now

And these feet are letting us down

CHORUS
So I said, "Roll back the sleeves"
"Be a fake, be a cynic and just believe"

Our engine’s in the Delaware
River drifts here and slowly to sea

Noise is noise until someone believes

BRIDGE
Our engine, our engine, our engine’s floating out to sea
Our engine, our engine, our engine’s floating out to sea

REPEAT CHORUS

Arms bend back, arms bend back
And I should leave
Arms bend back, arms bend back
And I should leave
