the absentee

The Boxer Rebellion

Throw yourself in front of this,
before it goes to long.
Ask the questions that you want,
when they all seem wrong. Because...

I saw you first drift right by.
I saw you first drift right by.

Open up, let us in,
when you shut down, you
open up, listen here,
when you shut down, you
open up, stay right here,
when you look down you slide.

Keep the pace for every move,
when it goes too fast.
Take the place the absentee,
if they're running back.

Because, because...

I saw you first drift right by.
I saw you first drift right by.

Open up, let us in,
when you shut down, you
open up, listen here,
when you shut down, you
open up, stay right here,
when you look down you slide.

Don't throw it all away,
I can be your guide
Don't throw it all away,
I can be your guide

I saw you first drift right by.
