Lyrics
Absentminded Melody
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
It's dusk as all the shadows fall
The sun is laid to rest
At night the city comes to life
As the light dies in the west
Here we stand as some local band
Sets circles 'round the clock
Smoke so thick you need a lighthouse
So loud I can't hear myself talk
Someone whispered in my ear
"It's not like it was before"
I don't know what happened here
I guess we just got bored
The good old days
Well I suppose, I'm glad they're behind us now
The only thing worse than growing up
Is never quite learning how
Late at night we toss and we turn
Lay awake 'til dawn
We close our eyes as the sun comes up we're gone
