The Licensee Lyrics

Channels The Licensee

Damned to the distance
Dead A.M. again
Commuted sentence on commuter trains

Look at how the young go-getters go
Blank-faced-show
Taking the express to a new low: below zero

When you're tethered to the treasure everything is getting better
Living in a dead weather, but the money is the measure

Lost in the exchange

It's Stockholm Syndrome to the last degree
Trade for your own life, you're a licensee

Look at how the young go-getters go
Blank-faced-show
Taking the express to a new low: below zero

Lost in the exchange
Late for changing trains
Minutes bleed into lifetime and time is just one way

(For they line)
5:41
6:49
5:51
Seven, three, five
The bartered bride is losing time

When you're tethered to the treasure everything is getting better
Living in a dead weather, but the money is the measure
When you're tethered to the treasure where the pressure is a pleasure
Half a lifetime sleeping on the Camden Line

Lost in the exchange
Late for changing trains
Minutes bleed into lifetime...

Lost in the exchange
Late for changing trains
Minutes bleed into lifetime and time is just one way
