Idle Town

This town will never change

People come and go, it's all the same

Speed the roads on our doubting days

To any place that's far away

I never learned anybody's name

We all vowed that we wouldn't stay

Kissing signs on the interstate

All we do for now is sit and wait

In our idle town

In our idle town

Yeah, we invent our own little games (In our idle town)

When the lights out at the stadium fade (In our idle town)

Making life a spinning arcade (in our idle town)

And curfew's at midnight, we watch the sunrise

We watch the sunrise

We watch the sun

Springtime when the air is thin

We're getting antsy and they're noticing

While everybody's off partying

We're watching stars over ice cream

And now we're kicking up to seventh gear

And we're breathing in the atmosphere

I don't even need a sip of beer

I can feel it all

In our idle town

In our idle town

Yeah, we invent our own little games (In our idle town)

When the lights out at the stadium fade (In our idle town)

Making life a spinning arcade (In our idle town)

And curfew's at midnight, we watch the sunrise

We watch the sunrise

We watch the sun

And they watched the sunrise

Blinking out of red eyes, and sore minds

The airplanes keep flying by, and they cry

'Cause they've never even touched the sky

No, they'll never even touch the sky

Yeah, we invent our own little games (In our idle town)

And everybody's trying to escape (In our idle town)

Killing time at the yellow cafe (In our idle town)

And curfew's at midnight (In our idle town)

Yeah, I think that we'll all be okay (In our idle town)

The idle town will stay as it stays (In our idle town)

And everyone I love's in this place (In our idle town)

So, curfew's at midnight, we watch the sunrise
