New Normal
Caroline Polachek
[Verse 1]
Now, what is this?
Feeling I know you from long ago
From deep in my past
I don't know why
Why I trust you completely
Don't question it
The bottle is empty

[Verse 2]
Now, what is this?
Club closing early
The fog machines
And lasers swirling
It's Halloween
I'm sorry for screaming
But I'm afraid
I scare you completely

[Verse 3]
Now, what is this?
Blizzard in April
I'm underdressed as usual
And we're cheating death
Buying time from the winter
It's house arrest
No stopping for dinner
[Verse 4]
Now, what is this?
Microphone working
Can't hear myself
But cameras are rolling
And there's the cue
My heart, it beats so hard
I look for you and suddenly fall

[Verse 5]
Now, what is this?
Robin you rescued
Its broken wing
Not broken long
You search the room
Someone yells from the garden
The orange cat
Finished what he started

[Verse 6]
Now, what is this?
Skidding of tires
I hold my breath
And you're running fast
As the SUV
Smashes into the sidewalk
And 911
Won't answer the call
[Verse 7]
Now, what is this?
Hollywood ghost town
A shootout scene
No actors at all
Last night I dreamed
You and I were immortal
It's no big deal
This new kind of normal
