Less Than Five Miles Away |
Between the cold drinks in the freezer |
And the latest tabloid rags |
A voice screams over the music |
«Put the money in the bag!» |
No one ever hears his reasons |
No one ever hears his name |
This is all happening right now |
Less than five miles away |
A shifty fortune teller (A second-rate contender) |
Communion with the dead (in the middle of round four) |
Lying about the astral plane (deflecting every combination) |
So she can keep her children fed (until he just can’t anymore) |
Listening to a mother sick with cancer (he feels his knees starting to buckle) |
Wondering what she’s gonna say (he hears the numbers one through eight) |
This is all happening right now |
Less than five miles away |
This is all happening right now |
Less than five miles away |
The stranger in the bushes |
Looking through the windows of a home |
At a woman from the movies |
That’s been living there alone |
She’s home at 7 in the evening |
He sees the code punched in the gate |
This is all happening right now |
Less than five miles away |
This is all happening right now |
And it all looks so pretty from a distance |
How we’re living out this story that we tell |
Baby we were both designed out in the cosmos |
As just a way of asking questions about itself |
You know the great writer that left us |
Well his house is still around |
Like an old dead volcano |
That sleeps over the town |
They’re gonna turn it into condos |
They’ll be done by New Year’s Day |
This is all happening right now |
Less than five miles away |
This is all happening right now |
