Warped Again

[Verse 1] It was a downtown dive at midnight Sticky floor and a crooked sign You said "Trust me Step inside this circle Cross that shabby painted line" [Pre-Chorus] You clicked your heels The room got sideways Every laugh turned inside out Calendar caught fire on the wall Heard the barstools start to shout (hey!) [Chorus] Let’s get warped again Spin the clock like a loose old ceiling fan Shake the hands of all your yesterdays Trip and tumble through your plans Let’s get warped again Bend the moment till it snaps and then We’re upside down Still counting ten Let’s get warped again [Verse 2] We were dancing on the backs of payphones Coins like comets in your hair You stole cherries off a stranger’s sundae Left your lipstick on his stare [Pre-Chorus] Stumbled through a photo booth doorway Came out dressed in different years You were wearing someone else’s future I was stitched from souvenirs (oh yeah) [Chorus] Let’s get warped again Spin the clock like a loose old ceiling fan Shake the hands of all your yesterdays Trip and tumble through your plans Let’s get warped again Bend the moment till it snaps and then We’re upside down Still counting ten Let’s get warped again [Bridge] [beat drops to handclaps and stomp] Left is right And late is early Look The menu serves last week Every heartbeat writes graffiti On the walls behind your teeth [Chorus] Let’s get warped again Spin the clock like a loose old ceiling fan Shake the hands of all your yesterdays Trip and tumble through your plans Let’s get warped again Bend the moment till it snaps and then We’re upside down Still counting ten Let’s get warped again (again) Let’s get warped again [Verse 3] It's astounding Time is fleeting Madness takes its toll But listen closely (Oh, not for very much longer) I've got to keep control I'm screaming in my car again Tires black and burning The house show that changed everything Left me broken, never returning [Pre-Chorus] I'm twisted up, can't break the chains Running through this small town pain [Chorus] Let's warp again Let's warp again Stuck in this parking lot, bleeding out my regrets Let's warp again Let's warp again The ghost of my best friend haunts me yet [Verse 4] I remember when you vanished Swallowed by the darkness They never understood my screaming Said I'd grow up, grow numb, grow heartless But I'm still burning bright and reckless Fists up, defiant, breathless Running from the void that's calling Watch me rise before I'm falling [Pre-Chorus] I'm twisted up, won't break the chain Running through this small town pain [Chorus] Let's warp again Let's warp again Stuck in this parking lot, bleeding out my regrets Let's warp again Let's warp again The ghost of my best friend haunts me yet [Bridge] You disappeared like smoke and ashes I grew up but I won't surrender They said I'd break, I'd bend, I'd shatter But I'm still here, still a fighter [Final Chorus] Let's warp again Let's warp again Stuck in this parking lot, screaming out the pain Let's warp again Let's warp again I won't go back, I won't go back again
