Bob drives taxis when the meter runs
|
Bobby hears the music when it's done
|
He hears the voices
|
He hears the voices
|
|
Wheels on rain, lightning from the storm
|
Bobby takes the gas
|
Pedal to the floor
|
The voices
|
He hears the voices
|
|
Refrain:
|
Coming from the traffic,
|
Coming from the cube
|
Like the cry of babies
|
Passing through a tube
|
Voices run inside you
|
|
Jill breathes carbon trailing from the bus, it's like
|
Staring in the eyes of Lazarus
|
The voices
|
She hears the voices
|
|
Like a starving whisper no one ever heard
|
Like an epileptic hummingbird
|
The voices
|
She hears the voices
|
|
Repeat Refrain
|
|
Sal and Liz sitting at the Zoo
|
Sal says "I do . . . but Liz do you
|
Hear the voices
|
Do you hear the voices?"
|
|
Everything relaxes, everything is gray
|
Trapped in glass . . . on display
|
The voices
|
They hear all the voices
|
|
Repeat Refrain
|
|
Gwynne is bored with all the rules and names
|
She wants her life to be a video game
|
The voices
|
She hears the voices
|
|
|
Too much controlThe have have not
|
Slide another quarter into the slot
|
The voices
|
She hears the voices
|
|
Repeat Refrain
|
