I put a kiss before the cause
And have consumed all of it raw
Painting an altar onto the wall
It's a curious pastime
Up in the corner for far too long
Keeping the light on only because
Cause I'd rather be on the floor
Through a tunnel wreathed in lights
Escape to our hideout in the alps
We walk a perilous occupation
a serious pastime
Tucked into corners brokering deals
Watching the movement but never the wheels
Cause I'd rather be on the floor
Where I’d shake and show out
All by myself
Buy a ticket and claim your prize
Weave a ladder out of grass
Trading time for a piece of the pie
it’s the national pastime
Building up vapor from vision and dreams
Watching the movie and stealing the scenes
Cause I’d rather be on the floor
Where I’d shake and show out
With no one else
Where I’d shake and show out
Only with you
I put a kiss before the cause
And have consumed all of it raw
Turn down the sheets, paint over the wall
We control the pipeline
Bow to the altar and broker the deal
Blow out the light and make off with the reels
Cause I'd rather be on the floor
