They heard me singing and they told me to stop
|
Quit these pretentious things and just punch the clock
|
These days my life I feel it has no purpose
|
But late at night the feelings swim towards the surface
|
'Cause on the surface the city lights shine
|
They're calling at me:"Come and find your kind!"
|
|
Sometimes I wonder if the world's so small
|
That we can never get away from the sprawl
|
Living in the sprawl, dead shopping malls rise
|
Like mountains beyond mountains
|
And there's no end in sight
|
|
I need the darkness. Someone, please cut the lights!
|
|
We rode our bikes to the nearest park
|
Sat under the swings and kissed in the dark
|
You shield my eyes from the police lights
|
We run away, but we don't know why
|
Black river, your city lights shine
|
They're screaming at us:"We don't need your kind!"
|
|
Sometimes I wonder if the world's so small
|
That we can never get away from the sprawl!
|
Living in the sprawl, dead shopping malls rise
|
Like mountains beyond mountains
|
And there's no end in sight
|
|
I need the darkness. Someone, please cut the lights!
|
|
They heard me singing and they told me to stop
|
Quit these pretentious things and just punch the clock
|
Sometimes I wonder if the world's so small
|
Can we we ever get away from the sprawl?
|
Living in the sprawl, the dead shopping malls rise
|
Like mountains beyond mountains
|
And there's no end in sight
|
|
I need the darkness. Someone, please cut the ligths!
|
I need the darkness. Someone. please cut the lights!
