Lyrics

[Verse 1]
The wind keeps beating on my window
I haven't slept all night
That drum just keeps on banging
They must be buzzing out their minds
Like bees in a hive
Tell me when the morning arrives
[Verse 2]
This place is just not for me
I say it all the time
My friends, they just ignore me
Tell me never mind
Waiting all your life on a slumville sunrise
[Verse 3]
Slumville sunrise
Nobody cares or looks twice
Shine away in the morning
Across this place where I was born in
Every bruise, every flower
Illuminated by the dawning
[Verse 4]
My face upon the concrete
The dirt is in my mouth
I clench my fist and feet
I'm tryin' to cry out loud
Make a sound
Something is keeping me down
[Verse 5]
This place is just not for me
I say it a thousand times
My friends they just ignore me
Tell me never mind
Waiting all your life on a slumville sunrise
[Verse 6]
Slumville sunrise
Nobody cares or looks twice
Shine away in the morning
'Cross the place where I was born in
Every bruise, every flower
Illuminated by the dawning
[Verse 7]
This place is just not for me
I say it all the time
My friends, they just ignore me
Tell me never mind
Waiting all your life on a slumville sunrise
[Verse 8]
Slumville sunrise
Nobody cares or looks twice
Shine away in the morning
Across this place where I was born in
Every bruise, every flower
Illuminated by the dawning
Every bruise, every flower
Illuminated by the dawning
