Shore Story

(album: The Mars Volta - 2022)

If I were you, I wouldn't answer it at all
It's a late November morning and I'll be coming home
For a little while, I couldn't shake them
But the trail I left was strong

We can leave them waiting, nervous
'Cause I know

If I were you, I wouldn't answer the door
It's 2 AM, I'm looking down the street
But silence has eyes for her

Sleeping while you replace me, safety turned off
We can leave them waiting, nervous
'Cause I know, know, know, yeah

And we make them nervous 'cause I know they're listening
We make them nervous on the phone, on the phone
We make them nervous 'cause I know they're listening
We make them nervous on the phone, on the phone

If I can't escape your hold, just let me go
Let me have this mutiny
And I won't lose this time, reclaiming my night
'Til the streets run red
I won't let you choose when I die
Regressing on the dial
If I'm gon' lose my mind, just let me go
And let me have this mutiny
