this town will never change
speed the roads on our doubting days
to any place that's far away
i never learned anybody's name
we all vowed that we wouldn't stay
kissing signs on the interstate
all we do for now is sit and wait
we invent our own little games
when the lights out at the stadium
making life a spinning arcade
springtime when the air is thin
we're getting antsy and they're noticing
while everybody's off partying
we're watching stars over ice-cream
and now we're kicking up to seventh gear
and we're breathing in the atmosphere
and i don't even need a sip of beer
we invent our own little games
when the lights out at the stadium
making life a spinning arcade
and they watched the sunrise
the airplanes keep flying by
'cause they've never even touched the sky
they'll never even touch the sky
yeah we invent our own little games
and everybody's trying to escape
killing time at the yellow cafe
yeah i think that we'll all be okay
the idle town will stay as it stays
and everyone i love's in this place
