Pavement

Lie down in the road
 We admire these street lights,
 That wash out the stars.
 Free taxi to heaven
 From the grace of a stranger
 In their passing car.
 Touch my pulse,
 And feel the violence
 Where the calm once was and
 Stretch out my eyes
 For the first time.
 You always say you've had enough
 That I always drink too much
 But I have no will,
 And there's no way,
 I'm ever gonna change.
 With nowhere to go,
 We parade down the street,
 Shut all windows and doors.
 So we feel at home
 When we lock,
 When we shut,
 Out the silent peaceful.
 I don't feel cold
 But my hairs stand on end
 To keep me warm and
 Open my mind for the first time.
 You always say you've had enough
 That I always drink too much
 I'm on my own,
 I've lost my way,
 I need you to come make everything okay.
 I have no will,
 And there's no way,
 I'm ever gonna change.
 Touch my pulse
 And feel the violence
 Where the calm once was and
 Stretch out my eyes
 For the first time
