![]() Light Chasers (2010) [ larger cover art ] |
Running with the wolves.
It's time for us to go.
Left all our clothes.
With the car left by the road.
And we were running.
For a reason.
For the burning, in our veins.
And we were running.
For a reason.
We just need to get away.
Running with the wolves.
We're screaming at the stars.
Left all we own.
In a hole in our backyard.
And we were running.
For a reason.
Left our cubicles in little flaming piles.
And we were running.
For a reason.
I need to feel something different for just a little while.
I'm not coming home.
I'm staying with the wolves.
They can burn all my mail.
And disconnect my phone.
Tell my mom I'm sorry, sorry for leaving.
But I'm staying.
Now we're running to find meaning.
We're gone, and we're never coming back.
It's time for us to go.
Left all our clothes.
With the car left by the road.
And we were running.
For a reason.
For the burning, in our veins.
And we were running.
For a reason.
We just need to get away.
Running with the wolves.
We're screaming at the stars.
Left all we own.
In a hole in our backyard.
And we were running.
For a reason.
Left our cubicles in little flaming piles.
And we were running.
For a reason.
I need to feel something different for just a little while.
I'm not coming home.
I'm staying with the wolves.
They can burn all my mail.
And disconnect my phone.
Tell my mom I'm sorry, sorry for leaving.
But I'm staying.
Now we're running to find meaning.
We're gone, and we're never coming back.

| kingart (Brooklyn NY) | Posted: Apr 03, 2013 - 13:41 I hear Death Cab for Cutie. Or, Death Cab for Cutie hears Cloud Cult. |

Even persistent trolls like Stingray can be scrolled past in a millisecond with the twitch of a finger. |

If anything, it's the positive comment posters that fill up the boards to the point that it becomes a problem. I do think seriously there is only one call for censorship on the Internet, that is for when someone is interfering with commentary in an actual physical sense. For instance, someone filling a board with advertising. Or, someone who is clearly suppressing other comments via some technical means, filling the entire board with the same post so as to place the real comments out of view. I don't think we have at RP anyone who fits this category. |

| Umberdog (In my body.) | Posted: Sep 30, 2011 - 14:18 I think Bill must play this whenever I'm around. It's good that I like it: 8. |
| Photo-John (Nor Cal to SLC) | Posted: Sep 30, 2011 - 14:18 Horrible. I hate this more than pretty much anything else. Every time this terrible excuse for a band gets played I shut down RP and log in to bitch about it. Does not sound like Slayer. |

A friend of mine gave me a burned copy of the FL Dark Side disk. I wasn't impressed. It was ok I guess, but the Flaming Lips need to stick with what they do best and Pink Floyd songs are not it. |

| KevinM (Long Beach, Ca) | Posted: Oct 17, 2010 - 10:42 Sounds like the lead singer took singing lessons from Wayne Coyne of Flaming Lips |
| Nerubo (Denver, CO) | Posted: Oct 08, 2010 - 10:32 +1 just for the line "Left our cubicles in little flaming piles" |
