Cliché Ricochet from Postcard Scenes by Mannequin Mannequin

It's getting harder to tell
Old conversations stuck on a loop
Where did it all start?
When did the cliche ricochet?
The cell walls and the sweet decay

You make me want to dream
Of a gesture drawing that's more than it seems
But time won't stay still, it swirls
And the clichés ricochet
And our bodies drift away
Will the deja-vu decay?
Or will we throw it away?

You said it better off-camera
Said it better off-camera
But now, so it seems, the mood music scenes are blown out
Go walk Paris in the spring
Go get lost in East Berlin
Prick the skin
Acid tongue
It's all sort of coming undone

Re-start this loop
Is this sound real or a trick of the mind?
Has my interest peaked?
Am I a plateaued force?
Am I well off-course?

Hear the cliche ricochet
Throw the picturesque away
Laconic silhouette
In-situ lost in the noise
