[Verse 1]
Step out the f
ront door like
a ghost
into the fog w
here no-one no
tices
the contrast o
f white on whi
te.
And in between
the moon and
you
The angels get
a better view
of the crumbli
ng difference
between wrong
and right.
[Verse 2]
I walk in the
air, between t
he rain
through myself
and back agai
n.
Where?
I don't k
now.
Maria says she
's dying.
Through the do
or I hear her
crying
Why?
I don't k
now
[Interlude]
Round here we
always stand u
p straight
Round here, so
mething radiat
es.
[Verse 3]
Maria came fr
om Nashville w
ith a suitcase
in her hand
She said she'd
like to meet
a boy who look
s like Elvis
She walks alon
g the edge whe
re the ocean m
eets the land
just like she'
s walking on a
wire in the c
ircus
[Verse 4]
She parks her
car outside of
my house
takes her clothes off
says she's clo
se to understa
nding Jesus
She knows she'
s more than ju
st a little mi
sunderstood
She has troubl
e acting norma
l when she's n
ervous
[Verse 5]
Round here we'
re carving out
our names
Round here we
all look the s
ame
Round here we
talk just like
lions
But we sacrifi
ce like lambs
Round here she
's slipping th
rough my hands
Round here
[Verse 6]
Sleeping child
ren better run
like the wind
Out of the lig
htning dream
Mama's little
baby better ge
t herself in
Out of the lig
htning
[Bridge]
She says, "It
's only in my
head."
She says, "shh
...I know it's
only in my he
ad."
[Verse 7]
But the girl o
n the car in t
he parking lot
says: "Man, yo
u should try t
o take a shot
Can't you see
my walls are c
rumbling?"
Then she looks
up at the bui
lding
Say's she's th
inking of jump
ing
She says she's
tired of life
;
She must be ti
red of somethi
ng.
[Verse 8]
Round here she
's always on m
y mind
Round here I g
ot lots of tim
e
Round here we'
re never sent
to bed early
Man, nobody ma
kes us wait
round here we
stay up very,
very, very, ve
ry late.
[Verse 9]
I, I can't see
nothin', noth
in'
Around here
You catch me i
f I'm falling,
You catch me i
f I'm falling,
Will you catch
me cause I'm
falling down o
n you
I said I'm und
er the gun
around here
Oh, man I said
I'm under the
gun
Around here
And I can't se
e nothin',noth
in'
Round here.
