As Usual

So first there was a road, was a brick road painted yellow looks the same but not as new
Skipping over chalk when they walk trying to find a place to keep themselves away from you
All the girls and the boys find a way here to play but the games all turn out to be tragedies
Looking for directions, keeping my intentions, knowing you're ok but not with me

Driving in your car going far feeling wind in my hair it's a mess but you just don't care
Testing for a vibe when you try to create some magic in this stale air
Meetings, feelings, greetings, every person who has felt that way
Searching for your place, for a name, in the waste of the city, lighting up this place

Ya ya ya ya ya
Everything's as usual
I'm where I've never been
I'm where I've never been

Then there was a babe, was a tall babe smoking on a fag in his mother's living room
Hoping that she'd catch him, steal it and detach him, wanted to be seen through his face's mood
Sheri's got a Caity, she was just a baby shouting out to the world "look what I can do!"
Looking for reaction, getting satisfaction, kids in the hall are in broken shoes

We're fine, we're fine, not blind who's got the cash spend it fast before they do
Put your dirty deeds in the back seat, making sure you look sweet, never let them see through you
Feeling kind of easy, moving when they need me, talking to my feelings, thoughts and dealing
Looking in the past, I react moving fast lighting spit fires in the streets for you

Ya ya ya ya ya
Everything's as usual
I'm where I've never been
I'm where I've never been

I never wanted to be
I never wanted to change
Now can you take it all away?
I'm not far from paranoid

Driving in your car going far feeling wind in my hair it's a mess but you just don't care
Testing for a vibe when you try to create some magic in this stale air
Meetings, feelings, greetings, every person who has felt that way
Searching for your place, for a name, in the waste of the city, lighting up this place

Ya ya ya ya ya
Everything's as usual
I'm where I've never been
I'm where I've never been

Ya ya ya ya ya
Everything's as usual
