Lyrics: Oblivious

From the mountaintops down to the sunny street
a different drum is playing a different kind of beat
it’s like a mystery that never ends
I see you crying, I want to kill your friends

I hear your footsteps in the street
it won’t be long before we meet
it’s obvious
just count me in, count me out
I’ll be waiting for the shout
oblivious

I met Moe, she’s okay
said no one really changed
got different badges but they wear them just the same
down by the ballroom I recognized
that flaming fountain in those kindred caring eyes

I hope it haunts me till I’m hopeless
I hope it hits you when you go
somewhere on the edge of sleeping
it rises up to let me know
it’s not so deep
I’m not so slow

I hear your footsteps in the street
it won’t be long before we meet
it’s obvious
just count me in, count me out
I’ll be waiting for the shout
oblivious

They’re calling all the shots
they call and say they phoned
they call us lonely when we are really just alone
it’s like a funny film, kind of cute
they’ve got the bullets and there’s no one left to shoot

I hear your footsteps in the street
it won’t be long before we meet
it’s obvious
just count me in, count me out
I’ll be waiting for the shout
oblivious
