Inertia

See the day start so softly
See the golden fuse, yeah
I don’t know why I want to stay
Where the dust can’t settle
Or I can find my level
I hear the cutters start pouring
See the doctors sit and stay
They don’t mind, they’ll wait around
Til we all get hungry
Everyday’s like Sunday
Oh, this state of inertia
I’m caught like a freeze-frame
I’m lost in slow motion
See they’ll end up in the leases
Telling me to stay indoors
Not a car out in the street
And I stare at the window
And then the minutes and hours flow
Oh, this state of inertia
I’m caught like a freeze-frame
I’m lost in slow motion
Oh, well I thought I heard you
Calling from far away
Like frost in the window pane
As it melts away
And no, don’t get those strange ideas
And don’t be calling me all hours of the night
And no, don’t you be calling round
And don' be trying to get me to go outside
At the window, out the door
Down the stairs, across the floor
I’d love to drive them down the street
You never know who you will meet
