| Bodies cram into this hollow tubes that move straight through the ground,
|
| Although at large we are the same, the time and place for talk aint now.
|
| And say from A to Z, you keep your eyes glued to your legs.
|
| Too close to be comfortable, creating distance in your head.
|
| We’re all alike in that we’d like nothing more than to just stay quiet.
|
| When you surface circumstances they don’t tend to change that much.
|
| Swarms of bees stand between me and the place you’re going and where you are.
|
| The public on this day is a faceless mass that may eat brains. |
| Charge straight
|
| through them anyway to get to where you may get paid.
|
| We’re all alike in that we’d like nothing more than to just stay quiet.
|
| We’re all alike in that we’d like nothing more than to just stay quiet.
|
| Until one day there is a crisis, out the corner of your eye you see what
|
| appears to be a face you once knew, and would be pleased to see,
|
| but years have passed and though you plead she’s now heading your way.
|
| Pleasantries are exchanged and you try to laugh off your shame that things have |
| largely remained much the same.
|
| Hours after you replay it in your head, but with you saying more interesting
|
| things, never dreaming that through the meeting she was thinking much the same.
|
| We’re all alike in that we’d like nothing more than to just stay quiet.
|
| We’re all alike in that we’d like nothing more than to just stay quiet.
|
| To just stay quiet.
|
| To just stay quiet.
|
| To just stay quiet.
|
| To just stay quiet.
|
| To just stay. |
