Clearance 1997

[Intro]
[Verse]
Faded neon lights turn green
Floating through a broken screen
Silent floors I walk between
Lost inside a past scene
[Pre-Chorus]
Empty plastic gift cards glow
Music playing soft and slow
Nowhere left for us to go
Underneath the static snow
[Chorus]
Skylights catch the rain
Sweet consumer pain
Nothing will remain
Down the memory drain
[Post-Chorus]
Sweetest taste we ever felt
Cards the counter lady dealt
Buckled in a safety belt
Ice begins to slowly melt
[Verse]
Escalators sleep at nine
Hanging on a copper line
Everything is looking fine
Pouring out the sour wine
[Pre-Chorus]
Empty plastic gift cards glow
Music playing soft and slow
Nowhere left for us to go
Underneath the static snow
[Chorus]
Skylights catch the rain
Sweet consumer pain
Nothing will remain
Down the memory drain
[Hook]
Distant bells in the night
Fading out of sight
Fluorescent and bright
Hold the memory tight
[Bridge]
Walkways painted in pastel clay
All the shoppers went away
Only hollow echoes play
In the dusty light of day
[Verse]
Chilled by a synthetic breeze
Fake plastic palm trees
Time begins to freeze
Take me to the exit please
[Chorus]
Skylights catch the rain
Sweet consumer pain
Nothing will remain
Down the memory drain
[Post-Chorus]
Sweetest taste we ever felt
Cards the counter lady dealt
Buckled in a safety belt
Ice begins to slowly melt
[Outro]
