Bilingual
They heard me singing and they told me to stop
ย
Quit these pretentious things and just punch the clock
ย
These days my life, I feel it has no purpose
ย
But late at night the feelings swim to the surface
ย
'Cause on the surface the city lights shine
ย
They're calling at me, come and find your kind
ย
Sometimes I wonder if the world's so small
ย
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
ย
We rode our bikes to the nearest park
ย
Sat under the swings and kissed in the dark
ย
We shield our eyes from the police lights
ย
We run away, but we don't know why
And like a mirror, the city lights shine
ย
They're screaming at us, "we don't need your kind"
Sometimes I wonder if the world's so small
ย
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
ย
They heard me singing and they told me to stop
ย
Quit these pretentious things and just punch the clock
Sometimes I wonder if the world's so small
ย
Can we ever 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
ย
I need the darkness, someone please cut the lights
