Punch-drunk Punk Rock Romance Lyrics - Last Night In Town - Every Time I Die

Pressed the seven sequenced silver panic buttons, 

The distress calls that fall on a distracted short-wave signal. 

A metronome timed to my panic stricken breathing 

And a pulse conducted by our dying lines. 

You said my heart sounded like a payphone in the rain. 

Distorted, distant, scrambled and desperate. 

Baby, I swear to god tonight I am sober. 

It's the reception between us that's failing. 

Everything's coming out all frenzied and confused. 

She's got what it takes to make collapsing a habit 

And a dance out of a tantrum fit (it's tragic but I am sobering up). 

Pick up the phone. 

Tonight I feel like the hero of a rusting war. 

My touch has the timing and precision of a car wreck. 

No use translating the trembles. 

They're symptoms of repetitive testing for fluctuation.

If I come back home, I am bringing back the bends. 

So give me a kiss. let me taste the reptilian appeal. 

Say it again baby. does it turn you on? does it get you hot? 

I get a little hysterical sometimes. 

The panic you shouldn't have been so sentimental. 

All that kicking and screaming. 

Everything I touch starts peeling. 

We malfunction like machines. 

Get up off the floor and answer the phone. 

I want to be a big star. 

Didn't want to touch so hard. 

Open the door. 

I am your deviant satellite, an orbit defected by the ballast of words. 

You're the reason for collisions. 

I am face down like a sailor washed up under your window. 

Tonight is a shipwreck. 

Photos 

Navigating through disorder. 

Now every electric star hums like a telecaster. 

How punk rock is that? 

You're so oblivious. 

Baby, you're my oblivion.
