You heard me singing and you told me to stop Quit these pretentious things and just punch the clock These days my life, I feel it has no purpose But late at night the feeling swims to the surface 'Cause on the surface, the city lights shine they're calling at me, come and find your kind 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 We rode our bikes to the nearest park Sat under the swings, we kissed in the dark We shield our eyes from the falling stars We rode away but we don't know why On the black river, the city lights shine they're screaming at us, we don't need your kind 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 They heard me singing and they told me to stop Quit these pretentious things and just punch the clock sometimes I wonder if the world's so small we 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 I need the darkness someone please cut the lights
