Less Than Five Miles Away (Live From An Evening With Dawes)

Between the cold drinks in the freezer
 And the latest tabloid rags
 A voice screams over the music
 Put the money in the bag
 No one ever gives his reasons
 No one ever gives his name
 This is all happening right now
 Less than five miles away
 A secondary contender
 In the middle of Frankfurt
 Deflecting every combination
 Actually just can't aim all
 He feels his knees started to buckle
 He keys in the numbers one to eight
 This is all happening right now
 Less than five miles away
 This is all happening right now
 Less than five miles away
 A stranger in the bushes
 Looking through the windows of a home
 At a woman from the movies
 Who's been living there alone
 She's home at seven in the evening
 He sees the code punched in the gate
 This is all happening right now
 Less than five miles away
 This is all happening right now
 And it all looks so pretty from a distance
 We're all living out this story that we tell
 Maybe we were both designed out in the cosmos
 As just a way of asking questions about itself
 ♪
 You know the great writer that left us
 Well, his house is still around
 Like an old dead volcano
 That sleeps over the town
 They're going to turn it into condos
 They'll be done by New Year's Day
 This is all happening right now
 Less than five miles away
 This is all happening right now
 This is all happening right now
