lyrics

Walking around your favorite spots downtown what's your thinking?
With every step you tend to reassess the life you're living.

You look through a window. Apropos of the wet snow.
When you see him walking towards you again
Don't step down my friend.

Standing around the last stop uptown what's you thinking?
You sit on a bench and lower your head, how befitting.

Leaving the show tonight you idolize a cliche archetype.
But you will never tell them who you are. Show them what your not.

Pigtails, tattoos and Dorthy's shoes. She hears the Planets pass her by
While the battle rages through his mind.
When all the anger fills your head, spreads through your chest and burns your eyes. Laugh at your self again.

Driving around, ears turn at the sounds of the city.
With bullshit jobs we're turning into the ones we once pitied.

But on some winter night. Apropos of headphones, snow and lights.
Humming a friendly melody you get the fix you need.
