I can't seem to take you anywhere
We ditched your friends at Williamson Square
Where the rank and file shoot us dirty looks
Hail a taxicab, don't want to walk
The nighttime here is a plastic box
Gently amplifying in the basement rock
The distant tones from the detainees
Friendly girls who pack it full of these
When you're not around, this is our sound
I can't seem to take you anywhere
We ditched your friends at Williamson Square
Where the rank and file shoot us dirty looks
Hail a taxicab, don't want to walk
The nighttime here is a plastic box
Gently amplifying the basement rock
The distant tones from the detainees
Friendly girls who pack it full of these
When you're not around, this is our sound
When you're not around, this is our sound
When you're not around, this is our sound
This is not a song, 'cause there's nothing wrong
When the light inside is not as bright
