lyrics

you got your electricity the heat is on high
you can’t keep your eyes away from the TV
you walk outside with your face on the ground
too tired to hear the sound of a child on the rooftops
and he was kicking off slate
do you remember when you were a boy and you were void of hate
because I know a place where the smiles last for days
and the people celebrate at the drop of rain
they last for days
they go outside on the barefooted ground
they can hear the sound
but switch back to the first world the smiling face on a TV
a man walks out of a square house into a square car
and he wonders what happened to me
and don’t ask him where he’s going cause he doesn’t know when he’ll be back
he sits there in his car with the keys in his lap
well have you figured it out have you figure it out
cause I haven’t got a clue
I was crossing the tracks I saw a big yellow light coming for me
what happened to the blinking red lights they must have run out of batteries
and I should stand up for my friends because I believe in them
and if someone puts them down why am I silent till the end
you better smile when I say hi because I’m smiling whenever you’re nearby
well I guess you don’t make a big deal out of anything anymore
and you pass a car turned over on the side of the road
you contemplate a reversal of the roles
but you don’t pull over to help
you’ll forget about it three seconds down the road
well have you figured it out have you figure it out
cause I haven’t got a clue
and I held everything against you because you see
you never held anything at all against me
you better smile when I say hi because I’m smiling whenever you’re nearby
well I guess you don’t make a big deal out of anything anymore
and I was crossing the tracks I saw a big yellow light coming for me
what happened to the blinking red lights they must have run out of batteries
now you just forget about it all cause all your things are gone
gone
