lyrics

Watching the little neighbor girl run
Down through the early morning sun
As I wipe the sleep from my eyes
And adjust the neck of my tie

Oh, the air conditioner moans
In such apathetic tones
While the dust grows high on the dash
(Oh) our lives are going to pass in a flash

Some things never change, but they cannot stay the same
This city, once my home, now vacant and overthrown
I need to rearrange and then reassign this blame
Farewell, all my friends – sometimes the darkness wins

And the traffic lights are all on a track
There to keep you in place like a gun on a rack
Never even fully awake
Circling around our mistakes

I know all about these sticks and stones,
And I think it’s time we broke some bones
And if Jesus was His only son
We’re all looking out for number one

Some things never change, but they cannot stay the same
This city, once my home, now vacant and overthrown
I need to rearrange and then reassign this blame
Farewell, all my friends – Don’t let the darkness in … in … in … in
