Sprawl II (Mountains Beyond Mountains) Songtext
von Will Dailey

They heard me singing and they told me to stop
Quit these pretentious things and just punch the clock
These days my life I feel it has no purpose
When late at night these feelings swim to the surface
′Cause on the surface the city lights shine
They're calling at me, come and find your kind

Sometimes I wonder if the world′s so small
That we can never get away from the sprawl

Living in the sprawl
Dead shopping malls rise
Like mountains beyond mountains
And there's no end in sight
I need the darkness, so please cut the lights


We ride our bikes to the nearest park
Sat under the swings and kissed in the dark
We shield our eyes from police lights
We run away, but we don't know why
On the black river the city lights shine
They′re screaming at us, we don′t need your kind

Sometimes I wonder if the world's so small
That we can never get away from the sprawl

Living in the sprawl
Dead shopping malls rise
Like mountains beyond mountains
And there′s no end in sight
I need the darkness, so please cut the lights

They heard me singing and they told me stop
Quit these pretentious things and just punch the clock

Sometimes I wonder if the world's so small
Can we ever get away from the sprawl?

Living in the sprawl
Dead shopping malls rise
Like mountains beyond mountains
And there′s no end in sight
I need the darkness, so please cut the lights
I need the darkness, so please cut the lights
