Lyrics

[Verse 1] We used to lie to each other about using computers When we couldn't get a hit we used to cruise to Vancouver We used to lie to people when we'd show up at parties We used to pretend that we'd never met Then you'd send a signal with your cigarette [Pre-Chorus] At first it felt like heaven Then it felt like just like the hole Let's roll, let's roll around [Verse 2] Now when we lie to each other, we do it through computers And now we never go dancing 'cause we're not really moving She's got a bandolero belt filled with kamikaze shooters She touches every table in a total eclipse It costs an awful lot for just a little bit [Pre-Chorus] At first it felt like faith Then it felt just like the void Now we're stranded on the south side She was sick of waiting on your boys So let's roll, let's roll around Let's go, lets go back uptown [Chorus] And you can ask me not to do it but you can't contain the kids We were living for the city, now we're living for the smidge We used to want it all, now we just want a little bit Living, living, living, living, living for the smidge [Bridge] Angel, I didn't say goodbye But I'm already gone [Chorus] Living, living, living, living, living for the smidge You can ask me not to do it but you can't control the kids Living, living, living, living, living for the smidge We used to want it all, now we just want a little bit [Refrain] Let's roll, let's roll around Let's go, let's go back uptown [Outro] Oh, come on, send me up a signal Something to show me you're all right Make the sign of the cross with your cigarette Come on and smudge a little smoke up in the night
