lyrics
Made for the streets and feeling pleased again
Take a page and turn it towards the end of the world
No traffic in Nebraska seems to me just fine
If not, I have these visions of the end of time
Omaha is quiet on this Tuesday night
We could move our love to someplace nice like this
God save the scene
God save the scene
You and I are citizens
Let’s reduce our serotonin intake
He came here for the food, but he stayed for the cancer
He came for the clean linens, but they’re no solution
Needles and things, mom’s quiet straightening
Burdened by madness, it’s just family history
This hospital is secular, not burdened by Jesus
He’s holding a rosary, but he ignored both of his kids
God save the scene
God save the scene
You and I are citizens
Let’s reduce our serotonin intake
I’m happy with this turnout, I think it turned out fine
I'll be happy with the turnout if we make it out alive
This hallowed ground is under water now
I came to please my baby, I let my baby down
Shuffled over bridges bringing me to you
Leaving from these places, shaking from the booze
The people at these parties don’t look so good
The medicine is out, the daylight is breaking as it should
The people at these parties slap me on the back
They slap me in the mouth and ride the needle tracks
The people at these parties creeping up to me
There you go again with family history
You and I are citizens
Let’s reduce our serotonin intake
Rip me from this medicine
Let’s reduce our serotonin intake
Take a page and turn it towards the end of the world
No traffic in Nebraska seems to me just fine
If not, I have these visions of the end of time
Omaha is quiet on this Tuesday night
We could move our love to someplace nice like this
God save the scene
God save the scene
You and I are citizens
Let’s reduce our serotonin intake
He came here for the food, but he stayed for the cancer
He came for the clean linens, but they’re no solution
Needles and things, mom’s quiet straightening
Burdened by madness, it’s just family history
This hospital is secular, not burdened by Jesus
He’s holding a rosary, but he ignored both of his kids
God save the scene
God save the scene
You and I are citizens
Let’s reduce our serotonin intake
I’m happy with this turnout, I think it turned out fine
I'll be happy with the turnout if we make it out alive
This hallowed ground is under water now
I came to please my baby, I let my baby down
Shuffled over bridges bringing me to you
Leaving from these places, shaking from the booze
The people at these parties don’t look so good
The medicine is out, the daylight is breaking as it should
The people at these parties slap me on the back
They slap me in the mouth and ride the needle tracks
The people at these parties creeping up to me
There you go again with family history
You and I are citizens
Let’s reduce our serotonin intake
Rip me from this medicine
Let’s reduce our serotonin intake
