lyrics

Rays and rays of useless days in this situated comedy
Funny how it always sounds the same
Somewhere below this urban sky the angels swear when they have to fly
I doubt that you can hear of what they say
I heard the words I saw the scene
I heard them talking on TV and even though I understand
I just don't give a damn

Sky clouds now bathed in blue leads your senses out of tune
Amazing how it makes you drift away
It's never quite as good it seems in a Coca Cola dream
Hell I wasn't born just yesterday
What they said didn't want to know
I heard them talking 'bout you Jo and even though I understand
I just don't give a damn

Been a long, been a long, been a long, been a long, a long, long lonely day
Been a long, been a long, been a long, been a long, a long, long lonely day

And I'm going crazy living by my last nerve
I'm living lonely in a headphone world
I don't expect you to understand
Cause I'm trying not to, yeah I'm try not to bury myself in the sand

Rays and rays of useless days in this situated comedy
Funny how it always sounds the same
Somewhere below this urban sky the angels swear when they have to fly
I doubt that you can hear of what they say
I heard the words I saw the scene
I heard them talking on TV and even though I understand
I don't give a damn

Been a long, been a long, been a long, been a long, a long, long lonely day
Been a long, been a long, been a long, been a long, a long, long lonely day
Been a long, been a long, been a long, been a long, a long, long lonely day
Been a long, been a long, been a long, been a long, a long, long lonely day

Living lonely in a headphone world, living lonely in a headphone world
Living lonely in a headphone world, living lonely in a headphone world
Living lonely in a headphone world, living lonely in a headphone world
Living lonely in a headphone world, living lonely in a headphone world
