Wheaton Calling Lyrics
Planted in the sweet spot for the sound
that keeps us sleeping safe 'til dawn
you fit yourself for cracks to slip into
i fit myself for exits and i'm gone
repeat times ten
we're happy again
sinking where you lay
window envelopes and monotone
claim your prize it's overdue
it takes a nerve to claim the intellect
to crane your neck out of a cushioned tomb
repeat times ten
we're happy again
sinking where you lay
fix in position and purchase
submerging insurgents inaudible
permanent grip from the inside
we're the wrong side
fix in position and purchase
submerging insurgents inaudible
permanent grip from the inside
we're the wrong side
repeat times ten
we're happy again
sinking where you lay
repeat times ten
we're happy again
sinking where you lay
happy again
happy again
happy again
that keeps us sleeping safe 'til dawn
you fit yourself for cracks to slip into
i fit myself for exits and i'm gone
we're happy again
sinking where you lay
claim your prize it's overdue
it takes a nerve to claim the intellect
to crane your neck out of a cushioned tomb
we're happy again
sinking where you lay
submerging insurgents inaudible
permanent grip from the inside
we're the wrong side
fix in position and purchase
submerging insurgents inaudible
permanent grip from the inside
we're the wrong side
we're happy again
sinking where you lay
repeat times ten
we're happy again
sinking where you lay
happy again
happy again
happy again

this such a good song, i love the guitar riff, it's so fun! how come no one has commented??
I know.. hardly anyone listens to Burning Airlines, its sad. I've met only 1 person in my whole life (personally, not counting online) that listened to them.
I love how the song relates to London Calling by The Clash. Same riff at the beginning, drums come in at the same time.
Also the lines "repeat times ten, you're happy again" stick in your head for days.
Yeah, there's (unfortunately) not many of us out there...I've been following everything J. Robbins has been involved in since Jawbox. Never made the "London Calling" connection- although it's not EXACTLY the same chords (& it's in a different key), the rhythm & attack is essentially the same. And now the title makes a lot more sense. I'd just be curious as to what "Wheaton" they're referencing.
@jaychoons I was just wondering this myself.... Maybe Wheaton Illinois, Super Republican Christian dry town outside of Chicago..... Jawbox he did sing "taking division down to where I shouldn't be...."cabrini green housing project...... I'd highly recommend Government Issues last two records, "You" and "Crash"
