Lyrics

Blank-faced,
Was this what our elders taught?
Dim the lights and live like story book.
I can't focus for the pinball.
I'm all shook up and
I think I see it all.
But I know that it ain't that simple.
I got loose.
Up on the roof.
Waiting for you.
Two-faced,
Was this was out elders taught?
We're human too, indulge in small talk.
I take a walk down the alley.
Some drunk half-kills me.
We're fighting on the floor for a ha'penny
I got loose.
Up on the roof.
Waiting for you.
Well, I guess
I'm waiting for the punchline.
I'm a refugee with a rare find.
I've got a place where
I can unwind.
I got loose.
Up on the roof.
Waiting for you.
We'll hide
