Fringes

Where buildings turn their backs on you
And wreckage is never far away
The old, tired and worn out things

You want to see the future
Man, take the train

You want to see something new?
You want to see America

Go on and make it rain

Listen to the ambulance go by
Somebody somewhere is waiting for that sound

I’ll take the tower of silence
You can keep your tower of song

Once your computers crash we’re gonna see who’s who and what’s what.

A highway through the heart of town

Bearing witness until the pain leaves our bodies

And now on top of everything
You want to be a victim too

You only mean to offend
Finding new ways to take offense

We’re all performing for each other

Because those people were let in
The world has let you down
