Sprawl I

Took a drive into the sprawl

To find the house where we used to stay

I couldn't read the number in the dark

You said "let's save it for another day"

I took a drive into the sprawl

To find the places we used to play

It was the loneliest day of my life

You're talking at me but I'm still far away

Let's take a drive through the sprawl

Through these towns they built to change

And then you said "The emotions are dead"

It's no wonder that you feel so estranged

Cops showing their lights

On the reflectors of our bikes

Said "Do you kids know what time it is?"

Well sir it's the first time I felt like something is mine

Like I have something to give

The last defender of the sprawl

Said "Well where do you kids live?"

Well sir if you only knew what the answer's worth

Been searching every corner of the earth
