Every inch of sky’s got a star and every inch of skin’s got a scar, I guess that you’ve got Everything Now. And every inch of space in your head is filled up with the things that you read, I guess that you’ve got Everything Now. And every film that you’ve ever seen fills the spaces up in your dreams, that reminds me… of Everything Now. Everything Now. Every inch of road’s got a sign and every boy uses the same line, I pledge allegiance to Everything Now. And every song that I’ve ever heard is playing at the same time it’s absurd, and it reminds me of Everything Now. Turn the speakers up ’til they break, ’cause every time you smile it’s a fake.
