Phantom Planet – Turn Smile Shift Repeat lyrics

Album: The Guest

Here they come the business men
Like a herd of cattle rumbling in
The exchange has officially begun
Now all the offices are buzzing
The executives are busy bee's
The watch it keeps turning in the employee's

And they just turn, smile, shift, repeat
Turn, smile, shift, repeat

There's a crowd for men on Wall Street
Near the tallest building on the block
The suit has lost his fortune to the stocks
There was no time to see his fatal flaw
The madness set in with the loss
Now he cuts their throats to watch their heads fall off

And they just turn, smile, shift, repeat
Turn, smile, shift, repeat
Turn, smile, shift, repeat
Turn, smile, shift, repeat

And decimal points and dollar signs and taxes, penalties, and fines
He's come to cut you down
Ohhh, and numbers, passwords, protocal
It's not enough to save your soul
He's come to cut you down
Bring you right back to zero

And they just turn, smile, shift, repeat
Turn, smile, shift, repeat
Turn, smile, shift, repeat
Turn, smile, shift, repeat

And decimal points and dollar signs and taxes, penalties, and fines
He's come to cut you down
Ohhh, and numbers, passwords, protocal
It's not enough to save your soul
He's come to cut you down
Bring you right back to zero
