[Lyric] A Nervous Tic Motion of the Head to the Left (Andrew Bird)

[Intro]
Overprescribed
Under the mister

Turn on the History Channel

Why are we alive?
And here's how they replied
You're what happens when two substances collide
And by all accounts you really should have died

[Verse 1]
Stretched out on a tarmac
Six miles south of North Platte
He can't stand to look back

[Outro]
Over imbibed
Under the mister

Though the words we speak are banal
Not one of them's a lie
Not one of them's a lie
You're what happens when two substances collide
And by all accounts you really should have died
