oblivious

from the mountain tops

down to the sunny street

a different drum is playing a different kind of beat

it's like a mystery

that never ends

i see you crying and i want to kill your friends

i hear your footsteps in the street

it won't be long before we meet

it's obvious

just count me in and count me out

and i'll be waiting for the shout

oblivious

met mo and she's okay

said no one really changed

got different badges but they wear them just the same

down by the ballroom

i recognized

that flaming fountain in those kindred caring eyes

i hear your footsteps in the street

it won't be long before we meet

it's obvious

just count me in and count me out

and i'll be waiting for the shout

oblivious

i hope it haunts me 'til i'm hopeless

i hope it hits you when you go

and sometimes on the edge of sleeping

it rises up to let me know

it's not so deep

i'm not so slow

they're calling all the shots

they'll call and say they phoned

they'll call us lonely when we're really just alone

and like a funny film

it's kinda cute

they've bought the bullets and there's no one left to shoot

i hear your footsteps in the street

it won't be long before we meet

it's obvious

just count me in and count me out

and i'll be waiting for the shout

oblivious

i hear your footsteps in the street

it won't be long before we meet

it's obvious

just count me in and count me out

and i'll be waiting for the shout

oblivious
