Took a drive into the sprawl
|
To find the house where we used to stay
|
We couldn't read the number in the dark
|
You said:"Let's save it for another day"
|
|
Took a drive into the sprawl
|
To find the places we used to play
|
It was the loneliest day of my life
|
You're talking at me but I'm still far away
|
|
Let's take a drive through the sprawl
|
Through these towns they built to change
|
Then you said:"The emotions are dead.
|
It's no wonder that you feel so strange"
|
|
The cops shone their lights
|
On the reflectors of our bikes
|
And said:"Do you kids know what time it is?"
|
--Well sir, it's the first time I've felt like something is mine
|
Like I have something to give
|
|
The last defender of the sprawl
|
Said:"Well where do you kids live?"
|
--Well sir, if you only knew what the answer's worth
|
I've been searching every corner of the Earth
|
