Phoenix - Countdown

Countdown unless you're juvenile let's go
God bless you're amiss somewhere
We’re sick for the big sun
It doesn't matter what you did and if you did like you've been told

True... and everlasting that’s what you want
True... True... and everlasting that’s what you want

Don’t say no your breakfast teas are gone
Resist or let go, you’re borderline withdrawn
Down and unlit from the bottom there's a misfit
Better than it looks better than it looks
Better than it looks better than it looks

We’re sick sick sick sick sick sick sick sick sick sick sick
We’re sick for the big sun
I rumble and trip trip trip trip trip trip trip
I realize that too

Hear the lonesome bell, is this knowledge ?
Ask forgiveness you know somewhere
You’re fixed to an atom
It doesn't matter what you did and if you did it right let’s go

Cruel... and everlasting that’s what you want
Cruel... Cruel... and everlasting that’s what you want

Don’t say no your breakfast teas are gone
Do you remember when 21 years was old?
Down and unlit does it matter that you care the less ?
Better than it looks better than it looks
Better than it looks better than it looks

We’re sick sick sick sick sick sick sick sick sick sick sick
We’re sick for the big sun
I rumble and trip trip trip trip trip trip trip
I realize that too

True... true and everlasting, didn't last that long…
We’re the lonesome, we’re the lonesome yeah
True and everlasting, didn't last that long…

True... true and everlasting, didn't last that long…
We’re lonesome, we’re lonesome yeah
True and everlasting, didn't last that long…

We’re lonesome, we’re lonesome

Countdown has been on my playlist all this time but only just yesterday it really caught the frame of mind I was in. A soothing song for you to hear when you seek comfort but don't really wanna forget the reasons why you need consolation in the first place. It just keeps coming back to you. Gold.

Check out the link I put up to a brilliant video by BumScrapFilms. A whole lot of incitement.

    I'd only heard 1901 previously.
