In the Lab Lyrics

In the lab where I work

Got a lot of rock to study

In the lab where I work

We don't talk to anybody

There goes the clock on the tower

But we can't leave until we've found it

In the lab where I work

Microscopes in lines of twenty

An old map of the earth

And a snack machine that's empty

Night comes and we sleep on the ground

'Cause we can't leave until we've found it

We are looking for a thread that's come up in the ore

Just a little trace of gold hidden deep down at the core

We skip all of our vacations just to make sure

I've been here since the start

I get hopeful on my birthdays

Who will find the true heart?

We look at each other sideways

And we are sneaking around

'Cause we can't leave until we've found it

We are looking for a thread that's come up in the ore

Just a little trace of gold hidden deep down at the core

We skip all of our vacations just to make sure

In the lab where I work there is fighting and spying

There is living and dying

And everyone's a jerk, desperate and afraid

That they won't find the life that'll save them from the blade

Got a lot of lab technicians watching the daylight fade

Got a lot of loneliness

I don't know what I deserve but i know it isn't that

I've been killing myself here, so what you looking at?

I spent all of my vacations and now I can't get them back
