Death Cab for Cutie - "Company Calls Epilogue"

Synapse to synapse,
the possibilities thin
I'm dressed up for free drinks
and family greetings
on your wedding date -
the figures in plastic
on the wedding cake
that i took
were so real.

And I kept a distance...
the complications cloud
the postcards and blips
through fiberoptics,
As the girls with the pigtails were running from
little boys wearing bowties their parent bought:
"I'll catch you this time!"

Crashing through the parlor doors,
what was your first reaction?
Screaming, drunk, disorderly - I'll tell you mine.
You were the one
but I can't spit it out when
the date's been set.
The white routine to be ingested inaccurately.

Synapse to synapse...
The sneaky kids had attached
beer cans to the bumper
so they could drive up and down the main drag.
People would turn to see who's making the racket.
It's not the first time.
When they lay down
the fish will swim upstream
and I'll contest but they won't listen
when the casualty rate's near 100%,
and there isn't a pension for second best
or for hardly moving...

Crashing through the parlor doors,
what was your first reaction?
Screaming, drunk, disorderly - I'll tell you mine.
You were the one
but I can't spit it out when
the date's been set.
The white routine to be ingested inaccurately.
