Rockaway

Same as it was, same as it ever will be Is that nonsense now? It sounds like it to me So I sat for a while on the lip of my stoop Wondering what in the world what it was I could do But if I fell on a clue, well, I wouldn't know what it means So say hey to the zombies out in Rockaway They live to fight for another day You wake up in the morning, and you're still OK But God knows where it's going Some people wanna see the world in flames Some people wanna have a god to blame I don't wanna live here alone You know, not in the time that I've been on Earth Have I taken such stock of what I'm worth And I can't help but feel a little hurt To find out where I'm at But what you gonna do, sit around and die Or grab yourself a bagel and say alright? These days bring tears to the hardest eyes Might as well leave it at that And say hey to the zombies out in Rockaway They live to fight for another day You wake up in the morning, and you're still OK But God knows where it's going Some people wanna see the world in flames Some people wanna have a god to blame I don't wanna live here alone No, I don't wanna live here alone Or it's just another sign that the end is near! So pack up your things and get out of here Everybody acts so cavalier when the house is honestly on fire Someday someone's gonna make some sense But you might be dead or irrelevant These truths we hold self-evident They're nothing but a funeral pyre So now, now, baby, in the skin-tight top I don't wanna scare you with the blues I've got But once I start, I just can't stop And God knows where it's going Some people wanna be real well-known Written in the folds of a rolling stone I don't wanna live here alone No, I don't wanna live here alone Is it same as it was, same as it ever will be? Am I useless now? I don't wanna believe Well, if I were king, I'd have fixed all this Reached in my pocket and covered it And you'd never even know how bad it all could be But it's hey to the zombies out in Rockaway They live to die on another day You wake up in the morning and nothing's changed It's either death or methadone You know some people think they've got it figured out Some people get up on the roof and shout And think they're right just because they're loud And so proud of what they know Some people wanna see the world in flames Some people wanna have a god to blame I don't wanna live here alone I don't wanna live here alone I don't wanna live here alone I don't wanna live here alone I don't wanna live here alone I don't wanna live here alone
