Lyrics

[Verse 1]
It's a mass grave
A dollar fifty restin' place
On the north face
It's a rope I've gotta climb
I'm a stone's throw
From everyone I love and know
But I can't show
Up lookin' like I do
[Verse 2]
In an old suit
My hair is slicked back nice and smooth
In a courtroom
Sweat rollin' down my back
It's a bad dream
I have it seven times a week
No, it's not me
But I'm the one who has to die
[Verse 3]
Needs a cold draw
To slow his tachycardia
In a dark bar
The world just melts away
And he feels fine
If he can just lose track of time
It's a good sign
When he can't stay awake
[Verse 4]
On a slow day
The rain against the windowpane
Of the cafe
She spills the coffee grounds
And the same thought
Hits her like a cinder block
Life's an odd job
That she don't go the nerve to quit
[Verse 5]
Yeah, it's just there
At the bottom of those spiral stairs
It's the World's Fair
The future's on display
In the still night
They turned on the electric lights
And the crowd cried out
Everyone looked so amazed
