caught up in the moment

by brendan philip mccusker

verse 1

stay tuned for the nightly news

there’s an ice cold case on the pay-per-view

find out who’s suing who

in an exposé on petting zoos

opt in for a text alert

or your fridge won’t let you eat dessert

sign here on the paperwork

for a watch that tells you where you hurt

pre

we lost the magic

somewhere underneath the static

so we went monochromatic

living life on automatic

chorus

don’t let it slip away

time won’t slow down

so let’s get caught up

caught up in the moment

verse 2

throw out all the food you hate

you can drink this milkshake once a day

log on for a PSA

bout a car that runs on gamma rays

click here if you wanna stay young

we can fix that clock two years for one

sleep in to avoid the sun

now it’s dark all day but the nights are fun

pre

we lost the magic

somewhere underneath the static

so we went monochromatic

living life on automatic

chorus

don’t let it slip away

time won’t slow down

so let’s get caught up

caught up in the moment
