Downhill Racers Lyrics
Hold your breath, dear
This ship is going down
We're all downhill
Running with our timebombs
These shins are cracked and splintered
These lips are crusted shut
These squinting eyes just sting me
These veins are drying me up
All my limbs
They're just tools
We're all stilted vechiles
These joints rust
These pores leak
Time gets selfish
Time is speed
(There's another verse)
The sweetest dreams have murdered me
They murdered me
They murdered me
Like the fear of unskilled labor in the nuclear family
It's the nightmare of digression that engulfs a history
All my limbs
They're just tools
Duplicated, mass produced
Running down
Losing speed
Time escapes us
Timing's everything
Everything
Everything
This is the tic in the heart
Everything
This is the beating of the clock
Everything
This is an absent blood clot
Everything
These are the seconds that I've lost
Everything
This is the slow-rush hour
Everything's so rushed
(This is the slow-rush hour)
Everything
This is the slow rush
This ship is going down
We're all downhill
Running with our timebombs
These shins are cracked and splintered
These lips are crusted shut
These squinting eyes just sting me
These veins are drying me up
They're just tools
We're all stilted vechiles
These joints rust
These pores leak
Time gets selfish
Time is speed
They murdered me
They murdered me
It's the nightmare of digression that engulfs a history
They're just tools
Duplicated, mass produced
Running down
Losing speed
Time escapes us
Timing's everything
Everything
This is the tic in the heart
Everything
This is the beating of the clock
Everything
This is an absent blood clot
Everything
These are the seconds that I've lost
Everything
This is the slow-rush hour
Everything's so rushed
(This is the slow-rush hour)
Everything
This is the slow rush

wow, a most intresting song. and catchy too! very vivid and detailed!!
this is my theme song to, um, ME.
hahahaha, the girl that just broke my hearts screen name is sweetdreams...hahahahah. im gonna go cry
I can't believe no one talked about the whole "we missed a verse" part. i'm weird.
Yeah, what is up with the "there's another verse" or whatever they say in there?
the 'there's another verse' bit reminiscent of something from big star 3 or something. shambolic-rock, shambo-rock? is that listed on allmusic? quality.
cuzed they messed up on the song while recording but cuz the song sounded still ku they lefted lie tht
May sound weird, but I think this is my favorite Cursive song. It seems to me to be about rushing through life to get nowhere and get nothing out of it. Very existential.
