Lyrics[]

We might be in for a late night

Stuck in a lava flow of brakelights

I can hear a rattling bass drum

Driving back to where it came from


Sit back, oh

I shop therefore I am the cause Protect me from what I was


Getting the hang of it, getting the hang of it

Getting the hang of it, getting the hang of it

Getting the hang of it, getting the hang of it

Getting the hang of it, getting the hang of it

Timing is everything, timing is everything

Timing is everything, timing is everything

Timing is everything, timing is everything


I'm at your feet where creditors meet

We'll sho me a super night crossing roads or highways

In the afterlife of supercities, rapidly devouring its outskirts

redecorating late at night


No bad time for kids who hate sports

Mothers crying at the airport

Finding the dreams you left behind to do

Waving goodbye your young heart cries for you


Sit back, oh

You're finding it out to get very far

We were born waiting alive

Grabbing the future by the eyes


Getting the hang of it, getting the hang of it

Timing is everything, timing is everything

Getting the hang of it, timing is everything

Getting the hang of it, timing is everything

Timing the hang of it, getting is everything

Getting the time of it, everything hangs on this

Hanging the getting of, timing the getting of


Our bodies they die like yours degrade

We fuel and recharge the ... in cars

My .. myself, be my homeward bound

Where did you go, you were my ride home

Is that what we want?

Is everything shot?

Is that what you ask for?

'Cause that's what we got


Life is destined

Life is destined
