Two Way Action Lyrics - Singles - Andrew Bird's Bowl Of Fire

I have been driving all night 

Bathing in fluorescent light 

Of a western Tennessee gas station 

With a pack of two way action 

Im subsisting on a fraction 

And I close my eyes and pretend 

Im on vacation 

But the lights bleed through 

And its all green blue 

There goes my imagination 

My returns fill me with dread 

Will my houseplants be all dead 

My significant be with another 

I say, "Okay where was I" 

But I cant repress a sigh 

And I think Im gonna 

Yeah I think Im gonna call my mother 

Let the subject wander 

To issues of blond hair 

Or something or other 

Like a bad haircut or a glass of cold water 

Some of the things you wouldnt ordinarily thought 

A will all be lost if you let it in 

Maybe Ill never ever feel it again 

I have been running all night 

Bathing in fluorescent light 

Of a western Tennessee gas station 

With a pack of two way action 

Im subsisting on a fraction 

Of what used to be a sugar free 

Half melted bag of tastations 

That hard candy sensation 

Its sweeping the nation 

And it puts my mind in traction 

Im subsisting on a fraction 

And I close my eyes 

And pretend that Im on vacation 

While it melts in my mouth 

Still driving south in a TV nation 

Like a bad haircut or a glass of cold water 

Shouldnt I say what I really shouldnt oughta 

And you spend half a day in 

Some of these places like a flash of white light 

Thats in front of our faces 

A state of peristalsis or a parastatic stasis 

And were off to the races 

Oh yeah, and were off to the races 

Oh yeah and were off to the races 

And were off to the races
