Текст пісні
Step out the front door like a ghost
Into a fog where no one notices
The contrast of white on white
And in between the moon and you
The angels get a better view
Of the crumbling difference between wrong and right
Well, I walk in the air between the rain
Through myself and back again
Where? I don't know
Maria says she's dying
Through the door, I hear her crying
Why? I don't know
'Round here, we always stand up straight
'Round here, something radiates
Maria came from Nashville with a suitcase in her hand
She said she'd like to meet a boy who looks like Elvis
And she walks along the edge of where the ocean meets the land
Just like she's walking on a wire in the circus
She parks her car outside of my house and takes her clothes off
Says she's close to understanding Jesus
And she knows she's more than just a little misunderstood
She has trouble acting normal when she's nervous
'Round here, we're carving out our names
'Round here, we all look the same
'Round here, we talk just like lions
But we sacrifice like lambs
'Round here, she's slipping through my hands
Sleeping children better run like the wind
Out of the lightning dream
Mama's little baby better get herself in
Out of the lightning
She says, "It's only in my head"
She says, "Shh, I know it's only in my head"
But the girl on the car in the parking lot
Says, "Man, you should try to take a shot
Can't you see my walls are crumbling?"
Then she looks up at the building
Says she's thinking of jumping
She says she's tired of life
She must be tired of something
'Round here, she's always on my mind
'Round here, hey man, I got lots of time
'Round here, we're never sent to bed early
And nobody makes us wait
'Round here we stay up very, very, very, very late
I can't see nothing, nothing
Around here
You catch me if I'm falling
You catch me if I'm falling
Will you catch me? 'Ccause I'm falling down on you
I said I'm under the gun
'Round here
Oh man I said I'm under the gun
'Round here
And I can't see nothin', nothin'
'Round here
