as usual

first there was a road

was a brick road painted yellow looks the same but not as new

skipping over chalk when we walk to find a way to keep themselves away from you

all the girls and the boys find a way here to play but the games all turn out to be tragedies

looking for directions

keeping my intentions

knowing you're ok but not with me

driving in your car going far feeling wind in my hair it's a mess but you just don't care

testing for a vibe when you try to create some magic in this stale air

meetings

feelings

greeting

every person who has felt that way

searching for your place

for a name

in the waste of the city

lighting up this place

ya ya ya ya ya

everything's as usual

i'm where i've never been

i'm where i've never been

then there was a babe

was a tall babe smoking on a fag in his mother's living room

hoping that she'd catch him

steal it and detach him

he wanted to be seen through his faces mood

sheri's got a caity

she was just a baby shouting out to the world look what i can do!"
