The Song is the Single Lyrics

you make the record at night
cuz everyone knows that rock and roll
is the language of night
but this got made in the day,
it was bright
the drums are fully shakey but the bass is more tight

and the song is the single, and the single sucks
it never sounded good
it always sounded bad

what is the song
the pop song
is it a conduit?
to give out a feeling in the compact form
a short form
and shorter is better
because it's physically much easier to share
a slogan verse a book
a single verse a record
and what if it's blank white
with really no cover
and that leaves the meaning clear
wait
it's more vague
with no hints as to intention
except that maybe the intention was to seem vague
or not to have a cover
maybe just there is no cover
and if the children care, then the children are pissed
you said you wanted pop
but instead you got this
oh, my god
what do you do?

the song is the single and the single sucks
it never sounded good
it always sounded bad

the air here dries out my skin
but i still have a feeling
i am still filled with feeling
i just want to hold someone
i just want to hold someone
i just want to hold someone
i just want to hold someone
i just want to hold someone
i just want to hold someone
i just want to hold someone

you make the record at night
cuz everyone knows that rock and roll is the language of night
but this got made in the day it was bright
the drums are a lot looser
they're falling apart
and the bass is a scratch on your skin
a big scratch
but you'll heal
the skin is intact

and the song is the single and the single sucks
it never sounded good
it always sounded bad

get away with years of bills
the short form
the conduit is cracked
but at least its for sale
i'm sorry steve, i had to say it
we've had to since high school
it's been a while now
and it's hard to see
what that means
until you really get to talk
you just hear so much
and you see so much
and you hear so much
and you see so much
it's a lot
but you hold it
and piano

i have just gone through the breakup
armageddon breakup
the timing was bad
but there's never good times
for bad things to happen
maybe better than worse
but bad is
at all always bad is bad enough
unequipped it was the blessing of space
but that and the the prior six months
had left my body trashed
it caught me in the plane
it happens
i hear it actually happens a lot
the other germs and the bad air
i went to england
which upset the rhythm
the label brought me over to tour
i played four shows and a radio
and i got sick
i got so sick
i thought i would die
i was sure i would die
so we cancelled 2 shows
so sick in the travelodge in Leeds in the rain
sobbing happens
and we cancelled Northampton and Glasgow
i'm so sorry if you cared
but this is what god made
not really
but sort of this got made in the place
of a visit
so the whole song
from your biggest band
the title track
from the third record
but swapped the organ for bass
which kinda sounded more like the big boys anyways
skate rock from texas

but this is the single and the single is spoke
the record is sung
the song is the single and the single sucks
it was shown

i thought it was "the conduit is cracked, but at least it's for sale, i'm sorry steve, i had to say it", in reference to "conduit for sale" by pavement.
