Sleater Kinney - One Beat Lyrics
I'm a bubble in a sound waveA sonic push for energyExploding like the sunA flash of clean light hopeAll you scientists can hold your breathCan I decide to show myself, oh ohOh oh oh...(Take me to the source of chaos let me be the butterflyoh my, imperfect symmetry has underlying poetry in rhyme)If you think like Thomas EdisonCould you invent a world for meNow all that's on the surfaceAre bloody arms and oil fieldsCould I turn this place all upside downAnd shake you and your fossils out, oh ohOh oh oh...(You can't predict everything with Newton like certainty, whyOh my, coz it floats around all we see with oscillating energy on high)And you soothe yourself with the sounds you knowYou tune out out out the hypnotic dronePerfect hexagon of the honeycombAnd you soothe your soul with the shapes you knowShould I come outside and run your carsShould I run your rockets to the starsCould you invent a world for meI need to hear a symphonyIf I'm to run the futureYou've got to let the old world go, oh ohOh oh oh...(Take me to the source of chaos let me be the butterflyoh my, imperfect symmetry has underlying poetry in rhyme)And you soothe yourself with the sounds you knowYou tune out out out the hypnotic dronePerfect hexagon of the honeycombAnd you soothe your soul with the shapes you knowYour word for me is fusionBut is real change an illusionCould I turn this place all upside downAnd shake you and your fossils outIf I'm to run the futureYou've got to let the old world goCould you invent a world for meI need to hear a symphony, oh ohOh oh oh
