The siren’s moan and the glasses that shatter
After a while it’s white noise
But what the hell would you know for that matter?
No way you could run with my boys
It’s 4pm could you hold off a while?
The boys are rolling like it’s going out of style
Someone in the backyard forcing a smile
Wondering who’s gonna clean this up later
All of us try to squeeze blood from a stone
For the love of the game, could you leave it alone?
I’m out in the rain and I’m chilled to the bone
Caught between a rock and a cheese grater
But if it feels alright for you
Well that’s just fine with me
Somewhere in the middle of nowhere
I’m caught in the middle of someone else’s problems
Funny thing about it I don’t care
Because it wouldn’t make a difference even if I could solve one
Firework fires, the squeal of the tires
Electrified wires, you’ll see when you go there
Somewhere in the middle of nowhere
And I’m lost, man
Leave it alone, I screamed, it’s not that kind of world
Leave it alone, I screamed, it’s not that kind of world
The siren’s moan and the glasses that shatter
After a while it’s white noise
But what the hell would you know for that matter?
No way you could run with my boys
But if it feels alright for you
Well that’s just fine with me
Somewhere in the middle of nowhere
I’m caught in the middle of someone else’s problems
Funny thing about it I don’t care
Because it wouldn’t make a difference even if I could solve one
Firework fires, the squeal of the tires
Electrified wires, you’ll see when you go there
Somewhere in the middle of nowhere
And I’m lost, man
Leave it alone, I screamed, it’s not that kind of world
Leave it alone, I screamed, it’s not that kind of world
