Name No Names

It's a strange infection that seems to need this quarantine
And such a pale complexion on the face of what it means
The one who holds the cure is another virus carrier
We could escape it all but they're our barriers too

We could walk on eggshells, or we can dance on broken glass
Show a pair of clean heels and leave the no-names running last
Disappear in darkness, then explode out into view
We could fear the backlash, but who'd want to be you

Is it time for going to ground, or do we leave this shelter
Another icon's falling to pieces in your hands

No explanations, no reasons that I can see
Name no names
Deal the cards and keep the same ones coming up
These complications, we're spinning round in circles again
Kill the lights and start over

Another loose connection, I see the sparks fly through the air
Another faith injection to keep the unseen spirit there
I could tip the timer and become protagonist
If I set the primer, would you come out and see

Is it me that's taking the fall or will you stop and catch me
There's a price to pay and my nerves are wearing thin

No explanations, no reasons that I can see
Name no names
Deal the cards and keep the same ones coming up
These complications, we're spinning round in circles again
Kill the lights and start over

You hit the headline and I'll remain subliminal
You can't see the deadline so don't classify me
Now I'm the main reaction, your emotional punchbag
But who's the name attraction, they mean nothing to me
They mean nothing to me

Is it time for going to ground, or do we leave this shelter
Another icon's falling to pieces in your hands

No explanations, no reasons that I can see
Name no names
Deal the cards and keep the same ones coming up
These complications, we're spinning round in circles again
Kill the lights and start over
