Sprawl II (Mountains Beyond Mountains)
They heard me singing and they told me to stopQuit these pretentious things and just punch the clockThese days my life, I feel it has no purposeBut late at night the feelings swim to the surface
'Cause on the surface the city lights shineThey're calling at me, come and find your kindSometimes I wonder if the World's so smallThat we can never get away from the sprawlLiving in the sprawlDead shopping malls rise like mountains beyond mountainsAnd there's no end in sightI need the darkness, someone please cut the lights
We rode our bikes to the nearest parkSat under the swings and kissed in the darkWe shield our eyes from the police lightsWe run away, but we don't know whyBlack river, your city lights shineThey're screaming at us, we don't need your kindSometimes I wonder if the world's so smallThat we can never get away from the sprawlLiving in the sprawlDead shopping malls rise like mountains beyond mountainsAnd there's no end in sightI need the darkness, someone please cut the lights
They heard me singing and they told me to stopQuit these pretentious things and just punch the clockSometimes I wonder if the world's so smallCan we ever get away from the sprawl?Living in the sprawlDead shopping malls rise like mountains beyond mountainsAnd there's no end in sightI need the darkness, someone please cut the lightsI need the darkness, someone please cut the lights
