lyrics

Well the lights next door are awful loud. I’ve been watching them burn for weeks.
You can just get me to my sleeping church where I pray to God in my dreams.
Everybody’s got some lock and key - they’re trying to keep us out.
I just wish I knew what they were thinking about.

Katie said “I know karma pays, but man, where do you get your cash?”
“Did you steal it from a wishing well? Are you a master of a craft?”
‘Cause I’m just a poor kid looking for a machine to take my coin.
And I wish there was some army I could join.

Now tell me: is your conscience clear?
Or are you waiting for a shift in gear?
Have you found your city of gold?
I just don’t believe the truth you told.

Heaven hates the amputees. They ain’t got wings to fly.
They’re just beat back by the northern lights and pushed out of the line.
Said “I’ve been faithful for a while, I just don’t know why.”
and I hope I won’t be buried when I die.

Now tell me: is your conscience clear?
Or are you waiting for a shift in gear?
Have you found your city of gold?
I just don’t believe the truth you told.
