Radiohead--Airbag: How Am I Driving?


AIRBAG

in the next world war
in a jackknifed juggernaut
i am born again
in the neon sign scrolling up and down
i am born again

in an interstella burst i am back to save the universe!!

in a deep deep sleep of the innocent
am born again
in a fast german car
i'm amazed that i survived
an airbag saved my life


PEARLY*

How do you get you teeth so pearly? 
Dew-drop dentures 
white-washed fences 
she runs from the third world crying 

vanilla (feel it crawl to me) 
milkshakes (crawl back again) 
hard rock (whatever you say) 
cafes (it won't go away) 
that's where (I feel it crawl to me) 
she's got her (crawl back again) 
sweet tooth (it won't go away) 
for white boys (whatever you say) 

she runs from the third world pearly 

"darling use me..."


MEETING IN THE AISLE

Instrumental


A REMINDER

if I get old 
I will not give in 
but if I do 
remind me of this 

remind me that 
once I was free 
once I was cool 
once I was me 

and if I sat down 
and crossed my arms 
hold me into 
this song 

knock me out 
smash out my brains 
if I take a chair 
start to talk shit 

if I get old 
remind me of this 
that night we kissed 
and I really meant it 

whatever happens 
if we're still speaking 
pick up the phone 
play me this song


POLYETHYLENE (PARTS 1 AND 2)

(go!)

tears of joy, scare ourselves of all that you wanna be 
just got paid and now you’re gone, how long should you be?
if I get scared I'll just call you 
And I
Miss your glow as I unsettle, ooh I will always be, I will always be

(right!)
...one, two, three, four 

so sell your suit and tie and come and live with me 
leukemia, schizophrenia, polyethylene 
there is no significant risk to your health 
she used to be beautiful once as well 

plastic bag, middle class, polyethylene 
decaffeinate, unleaded (I'll let it? take your pick!)
keep all surfaces clean 
if you don't believe this, sell your soul 
if you don't get into it, no one will


MELATONIN

don't forget that you are out son 
now go back to bed 

we just know that you'll do well 
you won't come to harm 

death to all who stand in your way 
wake my dear


PALO ALTO

In a city of the future 
It is difficult to concentrate 
Meet the boss, meet the wife 
Everybody's happy 
Everyone is made for life 

In a city of the future 
It is difficult to find a space 
I'm too busy to see you 
You're too busy to wait 

But I'm okay 
How are you? 
Thanks for asking 
Thanks for asking 
I'm okay 
How are you? 
I hope that you are okay too... 

Everyone of those days 
When the sky is Californian blue 
In a beautiful bombshell 
I throw myself into my world 
Two days, i've been kidding myself for so long...
