Sprawl I (Flatland)

[Verse 1] Took a drive into the sprawl To find the house where we used to stay We couldn’t read the number in the dark You said “let’s save it for another day” [Verse 2] Took a drive into the sprawl To find the places we used to play It was the loneliest day of my life You’re talking at me, but I’m still far away [Verse 3] Let’s take a drive through the sprawl Through these towns they built to change Then you said the emotions are dead It’s no wonder that you feel so estranged [Verse 4] The cops shone their lights On the reflectors of our bikes Said “Do you kids know what time it is?” Well, sir, it’s the first time I felt like something is mine Like I have something to give [Verse 5] The last defender of the sprawl Said “Well, where do you kids live?” Well, sir, if you only knew what the answer’s worth I’ve been searching every corner of the earth
