Opening Statement Lyrics
before I refuse to take any questions
I've got an opening statement
that I'd like to keep to myself
'cause I'm open to the idea
that my death may well defy
all of my logic and my imagination
[chorus]
I may never know what rode I'm on
the here and now or the gone
the coming home or the running away
you're gonna miss my laugh someday
somewhere along the way
somewhere along the way
we were light and sound
before a darker matter
froze us into what we are for now
it's too late, over in a minute
losing a fight 'fore I knew I was in it
just kept me swinging
until long after I knew it was over
[chorus]
we're frozen like light
we're frozen, sounds like we're
seven billion different people
out walking around
going down that round feeling bad
'cause that's just what people do
like every night is a friday night
and every day is a friday night too
[chorus]
I've got an opening statement
that I'd like to keep to myself
'cause I'm open to the idea
that my death may well defy
all of my logic and my imagination
I may never know what rode I'm on
the here and now or the gone
the coming home or the running away
you're gonna miss my laugh someday
somewhere along the way
somewhere along the way
before a darker matter
froze us into what we are for now
it's too late, over in a minute
losing a fight 'fore I knew I was in it
just kept me swinging
until long after I knew it was over
we're frozen, sounds like we're
seven billion different people
out walking around
going down that round feeling bad
'cause that's just what people do
like every night is a friday night
and every day is a friday night too
