Siberian Breaks
MGMT
[Part I: Direction of Truth (Part 1) (0:00 - 1:23)]

[Verse 1]
Sleep as the goer
The bridge that watches the light speed through
And cries while the spirit stumbles
The inside missile for the protection of you

[Verse 2]
Maybe it's silent
The voice can't bear any more strain
But speaks without even knowing
And streams outside in the direction of truth

[Part II: Secrets to Decode (Part 1) (1:23 - 2:10)]

[Verse 3]
There's no reason there's no secrets to decode
If you can't save it, leave it dying on the road
Wide open arms can feel so cold
So cold, feel so cold
[Part III: The Older I Get (2:10 - 4:55)]

[Verse 4]
Balance the books, the ledges, the looms
The disappointed look on the faces that squint at the moon
Let's see it with shadows enhanced
And then vote to decide who'll advance
Silver jet plane making a turn
Exciting the brain that expects it to crash and then burn
It's not the life lesson I'd've guessed
If you're conscious you must be depressed
Or at least cynical

[Chorus 1]
But someone might still eat the steaks
Even if they're tough
Spending the day, chewing at the fat
Floating away isn't rough but it's not enough

[Verse 5]
Oh Marianne, pass me the joint
The sandpaper's tan, go-getters are surfing the point
And London's a scratch on the lens
It's over before it begins
Silk 'round her neck falls down to her shoulders
The older I get, the more I suspect there's a trick
But really there's no trip at all
That doesn't result in a fall
Or a faltering
[Chorus 2]
But something could spit out the bait
Even if it's real
Rolling away, missing a spoke
Close to the ground like a wheel, but it's not a joke
Holding the line, clutching the phone
Nobly wasting the night, but it isn't right
It's not right
Smelling for blood, praying for rain
Running away isn't rough, but it's not enough

[Part IV: When It's Over (4:55 - 6:07)]

[Verse 6]
The low tide is telling me when it's over
To breathe in everything exposed
And comes back to cover me with a blanket
Being here's always changing tunes

[Part V: Secrets to Decode (Part 2) (6:07 - 8:22)]

[Instrumental: 6:07 - 7:02]

[Verse 7]
The empty sky surrounds me but I can't see at all
Wide-open arms can feel so cold
And you can sit beside me and tell me what it's worth
But I hope I die before I get sold
I hope I die before I get sold
I'd rather die before I get sold
[Part VI: The Way That It Was (8:22 - 9:12)]

[Verse 8]
If you find the soul that you lost
Frozen in a starry void
Take it within and hope the sight of blood
Can will signs of life to return
Back to the way that it was
Long before it made a noise
To keep on quietly reminding you
What's never created or destroyed

[Part VII: Direction of Truth (Part 2) (9:12 - 9:55)]

[Verse 9]
Wake as the swell peaks
The close-outs drowning the birds with roars
And howls scare the new unkindness
That picks and laughs at the carrion scene

[Verse 10]
Forces you see breathe can always go into hiding
And wait 'til it passes over
Or stay far gone for all eternity

[Part VIII: American Nightmare (9:55 - 12:06)]
