Isolani - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

At the bus stop

We're the pawns and we just do what we're told

But on your rooftop

We're the kings and we look down on this whole town

You know, it looks a lot like last year

Spend our time in just one place

If I wrote the story of my life here

A couple things that I'd erase

Don't you ever want to go?

Wait for some kind of sign that shows

Us where to go tonight

Underneath the northern lights

Up here like I can finally see

I look past the buildings, all these trees

That line a dead-end street

Get all the way to New Orleans tonight

And when the fog sets

It's a softer side of urban decay

We go no nets

I watch a can roll down, I hear it hit the driveway

Anchorless, like a novel written by Steinbeck

We're in a Midwest dust bowl

When you count the days 'til your next paycheck

It's a world of mice and men

Don't you ever want to go?

Wait for some kind of sign that shows

Us where to go tonight

Underneath the northern lights

Up here like I can finally see

I look past the buildings, all these trees

That line a dead-end street

Get all the way to New Orleans tonight

On the edge, the world seems to stop

I can feel the wind and my stomach drop

If we're stuck and if we never leave

We've still got moments here like these

Lying on our backs

Counting stars in the summer night

Above the sidewalk cracks

Getting bathed in the billboard light

Getting bathed in the billboard light
