hello 2023. this is shoplifters.

lyrics

Left Hand,
12 O' Clock,
My way,

Last stand,
Found it stuck,
In place,
upon this sober gloom;

On Guard and On Sight,
At all times,
When did we last,
Feel like it's alright?
Lock in before the moon;

How did we get it in this way?
Lately, things haven't been the same,
Always got something up on your sleeve,
Fighting until my knuckles bleed;

...

Breathe in,
It's all that we've got left,
This ride's hangin' on it's last legs,
Horizon taunts our luck,
What luck?

Why don't we stay a little longer?
And while the world starts to contour,
The raiders aren't until another mile,
An hour couldn't hurt us;

How did we get it in this way?
Lately, things haven't been the same,
Always got something up on your sleeve,
I hope that this tension keeps you pleased;

...

How did we get it in this way?
Lately, things haven't been the same,
Always got something up on your sleeve,
How could we ever get relief?
