Pink Floyd - Interstellar Overdrive lyrics

In a car outside, we stalk the idle kind.

If you're leaving, just let me know.

Tobacco and peppermint, dusting for fingerprints.

A film in her eyes from the glow.

Some rules are made with all intentions to break

And she defends it with a warped rationale.

And I've seen what happens to the wicked and proud

When they decide to try to take on the throne for the crown.

[Chorus:]

And we learn as we age.

We've learned nothing and my body still aches.

And you take cause they give.

Though I love you and my body it leaks like a sieve.

When it got old outside, smoke beneath the playground lights.

If you're coming home, just let me know.

Sucking on your breath mint, dissected and stuck with pins.

A film in her eyes from the glow.

Concrete and water, she's looking for her daughter

At midnight in torrential downpour.

And everything I said about how messed your head is,

Was cut up and left in bits and pieces on the cutting room floor.

[Chorus x2]

Take the picture from the wall when you think that nothing matters.

Take the picture from the plane and it's a long ways to the floor.

Cut your finger on the edge cause it's sharper than they told you.

Take a leap from out the window cause it's way too far to go through the door.

[Chorus]
