Sam's Town
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.
Nobody ever had a dream round here,
But I don't really mind that it's starting to get to me
Nobody ever pulls the seams round here,
But i don't really mind that it's starting to get to me
I've got this energy beneath my feet
Like something underground's gonna come up and carry me,
I've got this sentimental heart that beats
But I don't really mind that it's starting to get to me
Now.."why do you waste my time?"
Is the answer to the question on your mind
And I'm sick of all my judges
So scared of what they'll find
But I know that I can make it
As long as somebody takes me home,
Every now and then...
Oh, have you ever seen the lights?
Have you ever seen the lights?
I took the shuttle on a shock-wave ride,
Where the people on the pen pull trigger for accolade
I took a bullet, I looked inside
Running through my veins
An american masquerade
I still remember grandma Dixie's way
I never really known anybody to die before
Red white and blue upon a birthday cake,
And my brother, he was born on the fourth of the july...
and that's all
So "why do you waste my time?"
Is the answer to the question on your mind
And I'm sick of all my judges,
So scared of letting me shine
But I know that I can make it,
As long as somebody takes me home...
Every now and then
Every now and then
You know, I see London, I see Sam's Town
Holds my hand and let's my hair down
Rolls that world right off my shoulder
I see London, I see Sam's Town
