Rhythm of the City
Stripped of everything that is me
Lookin' back I'm being chased by my ignorance
And up ahead there ain't nothing but a fence
Right now I'm hanging on
To my friends and the ones I love
Time's still wasting on
With pain below and above
Been told that Jesus is the way to see
Go out and join a religious ministry
Well you can lick my fuckin' rod
‘Cuz I believe in a merciful God
Right now I'm hanging on
To my friends and the ones I love
Time's still wasting on
With pain below and above
Lights out at Eleven
Life lives alone on top of a hill
Tonight the moon is closer than it's been
In three hundred years
And if you feel like the weakest link
Well you just let your body sink
To the peace underneath
Sometimes I see life from a distance
Sometimes I see life from a distance
Your good intent is just as it should be
Never a lie has been so well hidden
In so many years
Don't blame the mess on who brought the message
You don't want to hear just what the truth brings to so many ears.
Sometimes I see life from a distance
Sometimes I see life from a distance
Like my pale insignificance
Tonight the moon is closer than it's been
In three hundred years
Sometimes I see life from a distance
Sometimes I see life from a distance
Sometimes I see life from a distance
Like my pale insignificance
