Lyrics

[Verse 1]
He wakes up in the morning
Does his teeth bite to eat and he's rolling
He never changes a thing
The week ends, the week begins
She thinks, we look at each other
Wondering what the other is thinking
But we never say a thing
And these crimes between us grow deeper, yeah
[Verse 2]
Goes to visit his mommy
She feeds him well his concerns he forgets them
And remembers being small
Playing under the table and dreaming
[Verse 3]
Take these chances
Place them in a box until a quieter time
Lights down, you up and die, hey
[Verse 4]
Driving along this highway
All these cars and upon the sidewalk
People in every direction
No words exchanged, no time to exchange
[Verse 5]
Oh, when all the little ants are marching
Red and black antennae waving
We all do it the same
We all do it the same way, yeah
[Verse 6]
Candyman tempting the thoughts of a sweet tooth
Tortured by weight loss
Program cutting the corners
Loose end, loose end
Cut, cut on the fence try not to offend
Cut, cut, cut, cut
[Verse 7]
Take these chances
Place them in a box until a quieter time
Lights down, you up and die, oh
[Verse 8]
Yeah
[Verse 9]
Lights down, you up and die
