Lyrics

[00:01.63]
[00:06.63]
[00:07.63] They heard me singing and they told me to stop,
[00:16.12] Quit these pretentious things and just punch the clock,
[00:24.48] These days, my life, I feel it has no purpose,
[00:32.89] But late at night the feelings swim to the surface.
[00:41.36] Cause on the surface the city lights shine,
[00:49.48] They're calling at me, "come and find your kind."
[00:53.89]
[00:58.05] Sometimes I wonder if the world's so small,
[01:06.55] That we can never get away from the sprawl,
[01:10.97] Living in the sprawl,
[01:13.57] Dead shopping malls rise like mountains beyond mountains,
[01:17.71] And there's no end in sight,
[01:20.93] I need the darkness someone please cut the lights.
[01:24.76]
[01:30.35] We rode our bikes to the nearest park,
[01:38.82] Sat under the swings, we kissed in the dark,
[01:47.20] We shield our eyes from the police lights,
[01:55.55] We run away, but we don't know why,
[02:03.05] And like a mirror these city lights shine,
[02:11.52] They're screaming at us, "we don't need your kind."
[02:15.70]
[02:18.44] Sometimes I wonder if the world's so small,
[02:27.08] That we can never get away from the sprawl,
[02:31.37] Living in the sprawl,
[02:33.55] Dead shopping malls rise like mountains beyond mountains,
[02:38.19] And there's no end in sight,
[02:41.34] I need the darkness someone please cut the lights.
[02:45.14]
[03:14.97] They heard me singing and they told me to stop,
[03:23.22] Quit these pretentious things and just punch the clock.
[03:27.80]
[03:29.25] Sometimes I wonder if the world's so small,
[03:38.01] Can we ever get away from the sprawl?
[03:41.95] Living in the sprawl,
[03:44.36] Dead shopping malls rise like mountains beyond mountains,
[03:48.85] And there's no end in sight,
[03:52.29] I need the darkness someone please cut the lights
[03:56.73]
[04:01.64] I need the darkness someone please cut the lights
[04:05.95]
