Sprawl II (Mountains Beyond Mountains)

Lyrics

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
 You shield my eyes from the police lights
 ♪
 We run away, but we don't know why
 Black river, your 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
 
 They heard me singing and they told me to stop
