THOSE LIKE US
I look through cracks
And see the attacks
On all of us inside
But there aren’t too many as one by one
They were caught and tried
They say justice came
But what’s in a name
Except that you’re a number
We’re reeling from their silly jokes
That we gotta get out from under

If you wait too long
Then the moment’s gone
You’re left there at the station
You know cool trains they won’t linger on
It’s no good being impatient
It’s gonna get cold
As the roof’s been sold
Right from over your head
They’ll take the building away brick by brick
And say that’s what you said

But one day we’ll get
The whole damn set
And all will come back to you
Then there we will stand hand in hand
Telling you what’s old is new
I look through cracks
And see the attacks
On all of us inside
But there aren’t too many as one by one
They were caught and tried

If you wait too long
Then the moment’s gone
You’re left there at the station
You know cool trains they won’t linger on
It’s no good being impatient
It’s gonna get cold
As the roof’s been sold
Right from over your head
They’ll take the building away brick by brick
And say that’s what you said

They say justice came
But what’s in a name
Except that you’re a number
We’re reeling from their silly jokes
That we gotta get out from under
But one day we’ll get
The whole damn set
And all will come back to you
Then there we will stand hand in hand
Telling you what’s old is new

If you wait too long
Then the moment’s gone
You’re left there at the station
You know cool trains they won’t linger on
It’s no good being impatient
It’s gonna get cold
As the roof’s been sold
Right from over your head
They’ll take the building away brick by brick
And say that’s what you said

I got some thoughts
That I bought
Here inside my head
I bought them from night creatures
And the walking dead
Well it’s too late
To close the gate
To stop the coming tide
To weave some magic tricky spells
And keep us here inside

If you wait too long
Then the moment’s gone
You’re left there at the station
You know cool trains they won’t linger on
It’s no good being impatient
It’s gonna get cold
As the roof’s been sold
Right from over your head
They’ll take the building away brick by brick
And say that’s what you said
