lyrics

I'm sure I left the lake for someone beautiful
If not somewhere beautiful
I'll work on keeping that in mind

Now I've found it's hard to root into a foreign place
But the hardest part's doing so with grace, and following the signs
When you're surrounded on all sides

Locking all the doors is the only way to keep us safe
Maybe it can work if the faithless have a little faith
It's focusing in frame, the crowd is somewhat close to dangerous

I wish that I could drive across the southern line
Without the hand of death along my spine
And curses tossed at cars

So I'll write these words of all the selfish stickered wives
The backwards hoards with backwards lives
The stubborn and bizarre
That surround us on all sides

Locking all the doors is the only way to keep us safe
Maybe it can work if the faithless have a little faith
It's focusing in frame, the crowd is somewhat close to dangerous

March in time, between the aisles of the store
Blending in and watching patiently
But the shame is mine
They did not come out of the woodwork to be judged, you see
Though they'd just as soon judge me

Locking all the doors
I'm sure that it will work
But this crowd is inching so damn close to dangerous, to dangerous
