"The Licensee" lyrics - CHANNELS

Damned to the distance.
Dead A.M. again.
Commuted sentence on commuter trains.

Look at how the young go-getters go.
Blank-faced-show.
Taking the express to a new low: below zero.

When you're tethered to the treasure everything is getting better.
Living in a dead weather, but the money is the measure.

Lost in the exchange.

It's Stockholm Syndrome to the last degree.
Trade for your own life, you're a licensee.

Look at how the young go-getters go.
Blank-faced-show.
Taking the express to a new low: below zero.

Lost in the exchange.
Late for changing trains.
Minutes bleed into lifetime and time is just one way.

(For they line)
5:41
6:49
5:51
Seven, three, five.
The bartered bride is losing time.

When you're tethered to the treasure everything is getting better.
Living in a dead weather, but the money is the measure.
When you're tethered to the treasure where the pressure is a pleasure.
Half a lifetime sleeping on the Camden Line.

Lost in the exchange.
Late for changing trains.
Minutes bleed into lifetime...

Lost in the exchange.
Late for changing trains.
Minutes bleed into lifetime and time is just one way.
