Lyrics
Copyright 2006 Justin Smith
When did you first step into the picture?
And how is it now that you hunt me down?
Tell me, how is it now that you hunt me down?
The city collapsed and fell back into the ocean
Washed up on their neighbir's shore
Yes, it's all washed up we don't care anymore.
The greens and blues are fading back into darkness
Has a familiar ring,
Tell me why baby why, didn't you say anything.
Pick your poison, make up your mind very quickly.
Inside don't take your time
The clock is ticking away now at your time.
And who you talking to now?
You, talking too?
Who, who you talking to now?
Hey everybody come and listen to me.
I've got something here for you all to see.
Lock down, hang around, tell me did you hear that sound?
Pound thru the ceiling and the ground, underground.
And no one understand it can't complain anymore
They stand in line and buy it at the liquor store
And I'm not reaching, I'm just searching
for some meaning to it all.
When did you first step out of the picture?
And how is it now that you cut me down?
Tell me how is it now tht you cut me down?
The cities rebuilt, pollutants into the ocean
Lock up your windows and doors
We would fight back if we cared anymore
And I'm not reaching, I'm just searching
for some meaning to it all.
