The Best Bits (Extended Edition Bonus Track)

(album: Race Car Blues - 2020)

Tell me what I have to do to take the floor from under you
If life is just a credit card and love is just a lucky charm
Then hang me from the brightest star I wanna see the best part
All the tectonic plates shattering like dinner plates
And everybody huddling tapping on their dead phones
Trying to let the world know what everybody else knows
All the pretty dollar signs, all the little drug lines
All the pictures that you take just to delete anyway

The best bits
Are hidden
Let's shrink this world
Down to this room

The best bits
The best bits

Tell me what I have to do to get the little chemical
Kamikaze overdose happiness in overload
All the little microphones the humming of the dial tones
Tanning in the blue light I want to get it just right
All the babies being born who don't know they're in for
You shoulda seen the big game your favourite player just scored
Swimming in a fishnet, playing on the internet
Telling people what you think smiling while we miss

The best bits
The best bits

One day I'll be exorcised out of your lives
And get a moment to myself where I'm not making up my mind
And all the benefits can disconnect I'll just be outside
Pushing heavy on the scales, always heavy in my mind
I don't wanna hear what you are always thinking all the time
Wanna wait inside the silence, the reflection in your eyes
Compression of the peaks while you wallow in the pits
The attention deficits, oh, I don't wanna miss the best bits

The best bits
The best bits

The best bits
The best bits
The best bits
The best bits
