lyrics

walking down elm street on a dark autumn morning
stumble out the door, down the steps, and into the world
faces on the street, our eyes never meet
i'm just another extra in the movie of their life

the highway cuts a gash right through the city
a grey concrete wall between you and me
but if you're in the car, you wont have to drive very far
because my house is right off exit 43

another day, another sunrise
thousands of people living their lives
all awaken, rub their sleepy eyes
and i am one of them

the bar downtown burned down a few months ago
now everybody in town has to find a new place to go
on the corner for years, it took an hour to burn it down
now people come around just to stare at the hole in the ground

another day, another sunrise
losing track of the passing of time
when thousands of people are living their lives
and you are one of them

when winter rolls in there's nowhere left to go
your troubles are buried under a white blanket of snow
but when spring comes around, you'll finally see
the brown grass that's been dying underneath
