lyrics

Some people spend a lot of time
Drinking cheap whiskey & beer
& living holed up inside
their homes with all their fears

I cut a line, you cut me some slack
You built a wall between
You & me & you painted it black
Now you only love a machine

1, 2 everybody knew that you were not to be trusted with that
3, 4 trying to find some more of the gold & the glory that everybody had before

thunder claps & you try to relax
thinking of the lights in the sky
reflections of the stars in the billboards & the cars
& the river keeps passing you by

5, 6 building out of sticks a box to pack away the thoughts I thought I hid
7, 8 will keep from being late & somehow find time to recreate it all
