I'm not to blame
No cracks in my shell so far
There is no shame
You're in the clear so far

Cos you said it, doesn't make it so
Doesn't mean that time stands still between us
There is nothing left to know

What you stole, wasn't really yours
though you want, they have no meaning
your awkwardness still shows

Ease it down
Come in out of the rain
To a better place

Sleaze is all you know
That which is causing you pain
Is all you'll ever know

I'm not to blame
No cracks in my shell so far
There is no shame
You're in the clear so far

Every thought you think is not how it goes
Though to see the way you treat them
Explains your empty soul

Make demands of others that you control
There will always be that certain someone
Whose answer will be "no"

Ease it down
Come in out of the rain
To a better place

Sleaze is all you know
That which is causing you pain
Is all you'll ever know

Come on in out
Come on in out
Come on in out
Come on in out

Ease it down
Come in out of the rain
To a better place

Sleaze is all you know
That which is causing you pain
Is all you'll ever know

Engineers interview

"But as a whole, the album works -- in fact, the album works remarkably well. While the influence of the shoegazers is undeniable, Engineers takes the best of what the genre had to offer -- the lushness, the luxuriousness of the sound -- and modernizes it into a notably accessible and likely enduring end product. In this case, it would seem, the positive press was right on."

Agreed
