Ticker Tape
[Verse 1: 2-D]
Is it resolution?
Or black and white flying balloons?
Floating up, too colourful
Or is it separation
You put into your counting sand
Waiting for the world to start again?

[Chorus: 2-D]
Ticker tape
Ticker tape
Tick-tick-ticker tape

[Verse 2: 2-D]
Is this how you're feeling?
Falling with the world tonight
Cauterized and beautiful
Slide the light
Is this how you're healing?
Out there in the paradigm
Waiting for a cavalcade to come again

[Chorus: 2-D]
Ticker tape
Ticker tape
Tick-tick-ticker tape
Ticker tape
[Bridge: Carly Simon & 2-D]
Black light glints with colour
Sudden, long and horizontal, outlines the star
A sudden draft and quick chill
A single snowflake falls
And that is all, that is all
The world's face hidden under folding wing
Waiting for the world to start again
Waiting for the world to start again
Waiting for the world to start again
Waiting for the world... again

[Outro: Kali Uchis & 2-D]
And we're working through it
(Are you leaving for the rest of it?)
Working through the nightmare
Watch the worker bees as they're working for it
Working through the night shift
And we're working through it
(Coming back to ghosts inside)
Working through the nightmare
Watch the worker bees as they're working for it
Working through the night shift
(Or is it just too late for that?)
'Cause we're working through it
Working through the nightmare
Watch the worker bees as they're working for it
Working through the night shift
And we're working through it
(And I'm hoping for the little juice)
Working through the nightmare
Watch the worker bees as they're working for it
Working through the night shift
