Death Cab For Cutie - Scientist Studies

Lyrics:

What ghosts exist behind these attic walls?
There's got to be a simpler explanation,
'cause I scrimped and I saved
just to find that they've been splicing my inventions.
Cold skin and bones and this latitude:
we ain't paying until the heat comes through.
So you slept in a stocking cap and wool scarf.

Promises of payments were
upon your shoulders constantly,
but don't foget to entertain
'cause this is your first defense.

A four-year offense to the devoted type.
I may have got an invitation, but I wasn't invited.
But I thought that this meant
something more than broken hearts and new addictions.
We'll leave our sins within the carpet twine.
Our bodies will dissolve the chemicals in due time.

Promises of payments were
upon your shoulders constantly,
but don't foget to entertain
'cause this is your first defense.

This is my last defense.

[stewardo]

Reminds me of better times.

I do love their older music better then their newer but you've got to appreciate the fact that a lot happens during the time between their oldest album and their newest album the way the think changes the way they hear things changes life changes. But just because they go through changes like everyone else doesn't change my opinion that this is a fantastic band that deserves a lot of respect.

Ben Gibbard is the fucking man.

I just found out something completely amazing! YOU ALL HAVE TO TRY IT!

Here's what you do:

1. Play all DCFC songs of this album all at one.

Once you do so, you'll hear the voice of [insert god] and a dove will fly out of your computer screen! I'm not lying- it's true!

@guitardudeluke meh, maturity is a transition. Stay the same forever and run the risk of becoming stale- or worse- getting left behind.

Awesome song! but the last few seconds of the song give me a head ace. XD what instrument is that?

[justanotherndownpour]

@TheWanderingPrimate AMEN..... They deserve every bit of it.

I always love reading the comments on Death Cab for Cutie songs. They're never about Beiber or Gaga or Nickelback, and they're usually positive things about the band or the song. And I never see arguments, just people discussing and eventually agreeing to disagree. It gives me hope for humanity.

the new Cialis(ED med.) commercial totally ripped of this awesome song, check it out. It's the one were to olders are in the produce section, checkin out bananas and melons, and they get the urge to bang nasties. Let me know if you hear it too.

[ShanaeEskimoFace]
