Bilingual
You heard me singing and you told me to stop
Quit these pretentious things and just punch the clock
ย
These days my life I feel it has no purpose
ย
When 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
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 ride our bikes to the nearest park
ย
Sat under the swings and kissed in the dark
ย
We shield our eyes from the falling stars
ย
We run away, but we don't know why
Like a mirror the city lights shine
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
You heard me singing and you told me stop
ย
Quit these pretentious things and just punch the clock
Sometimes I wonder if the world's so small
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
