They heard me singing and they 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 feelings swim 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 and kissed in the dark
We shield our eyes from the police lights We run 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
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 Can we ever get away from the sprawl?
I need the darkness, someone please cut the lights
