lyrics

In my town, blue cameras all around the block
to keep all of us ne’er do wells
from all the other ne’er do wells and such

Why would we slow down
There’s beauty all around
We ride along until we’re gone

Carefree days have they really gone away?
They say there was a time when all was well
but charades are often found in yesterdays we know

Why would we slow down?
Lighting up this town
We ride along until we’re gone

Beneath the waterline
Beneath the walls of mine

There’s a place where the pavement glows when it rains
When we were young we used to hide behind the graves
and say our names

If you’re sitting with my ghost wait for me
At the center of all things flying free
There’s a river of darkness underneath
Carry us together where it leads

In my town we hang with all the ne’er do wells
We celebrate and dare to tell
and toast to other ne’er do wells and such
