Wiggle Room

She's calling from a pay phone on Mercury
 My skin's crawling 'cause I think that she burns for me
 And that seems to work for me
 I hear what's coming so I'm keeping my peepers closed
 I can't believe I'm walking out on shelter from cold
 All I ask is for a little bit of wiggle room
 I gazed into the smokescreen
 The view from my window at my subway seat
 I'm underground with the bones of the dinosaurs
 But something puts me on my feet
 Can't you hear fluorescent lights flicker?
 Can't you feel the seconds grow thicker
 Can't you see me losing my powers
 Undoing the hours
 Browbeaten 'til it finally gets through to me
 I can't help that this will always be new to me
 That point is now moot to me
 I gazed into the smokescreen
 The view from my window at my subway seat
 I'm underground with the bones of the dinosaurs
 But something puts me on my feet
 Can't you hear fluorescent lights flicker?
 Can't you feel the seconds grow thicker
 Can't you see me losing my powers
 Undoing the hours
 I gazed into the smokescreen
 The view from my window at my subway seat
 I'm underground with the bones of the dinosaurs
 A little bit of wiggle room
