motion isn't meaning lyrics

What a beautiful way to fake it
This sort of graceful defeat
We found a pattern out on the pavement
Sound the siren out through the streets

Advance in perfect nonchalance
Do it together with a rifle report
Don't marvel at our confidence
It's troubled, bottled, and above-all deformed

Tell me that you wanna stop the war
But baby you can't dance if there's no floor
Motion isn't meaning
It's just another drug but it's all we've got

What a way to keep it together
A black box, a prescription for speed
We found a freeway that goes on forever
Drown the demon in the deep black sea

Shields your eyes
It keeps burning to the rhythm of the rifle repeating
Paralyzed
But I gotta keep moving if I wanna keep breathing

Tell me that you wanna stop the war
But baby you can't dance if there's no floor
Motion isn't meaning
It's just another drug it's all we've got we've got nowhere to go

I'll take the life on the easy ship
We have our guns for the moment
I'll take the life on the easy ship
We have our guns
