I remember when your head caught flame It kissed your scalp and caressed your brain Well you laughed, baby it's okay It's buzz cut season anyway (Well you laughed, baby it's okay) Explosions on TV, and all the girls with heads inside a dream So now we live beside the pool, where everything is good We ride the bus with the knees pulled in People should see how we're living (We ride the bus with the knees pulled in) Shut my eyes to the song that plays Sometimes this has a hot, sweet taste (Shut my eyes to the song that plays) The men up on the news, they try to tell us all that we will lose But it's so easy in this blue, where everything is good And I'll never go home again (place the call, feel it start) Favorite friend (and nothing's wrong when nothing's true) I live in a hologram with you We're all the things that we do for fun (and I'll breathe, and it goes) Play along (make-believe it's hyper real) But I live in a hologram with you Cola with the burnt-out taste I'm the one you tell your fears to There'll never be enough of us Explosions on TV, and all the girls with heads inside a dream So now we live beside the pool, where everything is good And I'll never go home again (place the call, feel it start) Favorite friend (and nothing's wrong when nothing's true) I live in a hologram with you We're all the things that we do for fun (and I'll breathe, and it goes) Play along (make-believe it's hyper real) But I live in a hologram with you
