Sprawl II (Mountains Beyond Mountains)

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

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
