Lyrics
Oz
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.
They kinda shuffle down the street
Like they borrowed their feet from a friend
And they wanna get them back in good condition
They could run if they wanted but they won't
Throw a party out of fear
And watch their youth disappearing night by night
And then get high in celebration
They could run if they wanted but they won't
How do they walk so close to the edge and never jump in
How do they walk so close to the edge and never jump in
Citizens of oz like flowers in a garden
Finely dressed and going nowhere
Too pretty to be lost too rich to be held hostage
Haunted by what's really there
It's getting crowded on the roof
And everybody's much looser than they were
When they arrived in warmer clothing
They could speak if they wanted but they won't
I wanna know who wrote the script
Who gave the generous gift
Of empty boxes as hearts to a whole city
They could beat if they wanted but they won't
How do they walk so close to the edge and never jump in
How do they walk so close to the edge and never jump in
Citizens of oz like flowers in a garden
Finely dressed and going nowhere
Too pretty to be lost too rich to be held hostage
Haunted by what's really there
