Lyrics
saw across the way
in this empty hole
we like to crawl
inside the mind
a birth a thought
stretch it out
watch the sun revolve the sky
strangers they call me
begging not
a roof top on your heart
nothing on my sleeves
i never understand this art
life walks on
we hear the sounds
like the whistle blowing down
in grade school
they used to yell at us
i'm wiser than because
i grew up on some far away planet
why are you asking me if i'm leaving
why are you asking me i'm staying you see
just putting on my coat i am cold
i'm staying until i want to leave
