HEY THERE
DON'T I KNOW YOU?
CRUMBLING MECCA
JUST COME HOME
WHO ARE YOU
AND WHY YOU ALWAYS SHINING ON ME?
I AM
IF I WAKE IN THE PLACE
OF SOMEONE SLIPPING
FOLLOW ME DOWN
HEY THERE
CHOKING SLOWLY
I HAD TO FOLLOW THE BRIGHT LIGHTS
AND I GOT LOST
SOMEWHERE
I KNOW THE SUN STILL SHINES
BUT YOUR WANDERING OFF
TO CUT ME OFF
AND WE DIVIDE
I AM
IN HELL
OR AM I
IN BLOOM
STAND STILL
SO I CAN MOVE

THE CAT SCRATCHED IT'S WAY
OUT OF THE BAG AND
LANDED IN OUR LAPS
SO WE TIED HIM UP.
BEAT HIM UP.
DRESSED HIM UP.
SOLD HIM FOR CASH.
WE'VE GOT HEADLINES THAT READ
"WE'VE GOT PEOPLE TO PLEASE"
SO TUNE OUT IF THIS FEELS INCONVENIENT
THE MADMEN KEEP COMIN' ROUND
THEY KEEP SETTING THEIR TRAPS
HEY/PUT A SMILE ON FOR ME.
AWAY/I DON'T WANNA SEE.
LOCKED DOWN.
DIZZED UP.
SHAKEN UP.
TRYING TO MAKE SENSE OF
THE HELICOPTERS CIRCLING OVER OUR HEADS
AND I CAN'T
SO LIGHTS OUT
NOBODIES HOME
TURN THE LOCKS ON THE DOORS
NEVER PICK UP THE PHONE
I TRY TO CLOSE MY EYES BUT I CAN'T
SO I'LL DO WHAT I'M TOLD
COZ' A MAN WITH A PLAN LIVING
LIFE OFF IN LA-LA-LAND SAYS SO
I AM LITTLE WHITE LIE
HIDING YOUR FOOTSTEPS WHEREVER YOU GO.
I AM CAGED ANIMAL
CROSSING THE WIRES IN THE BACK OF YOUR SKULL.

I BOUGHT THE WORLD
I SOLD THE TRUTH
WHILE YOU WERE SLEEPING
I SHOT YOU ALL
ACROSS THE MOON
WHILE YOU WERE SLEEPING
YOU KNOW
I MARCHED YOU UP A MOUNTAIN
AND SOLD YOU ONE BY ONE
I SOLD YOU OFF
YOU'LL FILL WITH NOISE
AND PICTURE SHOWS
ON THE BACK OF YOUR EYELIDS
TILL YOUR A GHOST
YOU'LL SWEAR IT OFF
SWEAR UP AND DOWN
WITH A FIST FULL OF DOLLARS
THEY'LL SELL YOU OUT
THEY MARCH YOU UP THEIR MOUNTAIN
AND SELL YOU ONE BY ONE
THEY'LL SELL YOU OFF
WAKE ME LATER
WHEN THIS IS OVER
IT'S NEVER OVER COZ' YOU SLEEP TOO LATE
WAKE THE NEIGHBORS
HERE COMES THE FLOOD
WATERS COMING THROUGH THE WINDOW PANES.
