Moon's throwing daggers 
At the targets on the street 
Trucks wipe the sweat out of their eyes 
The brain is making promises 
The body cannot keep 
You duck inside a doorway 
And you change into your favorite disguise 
Black hole in your pocket 
But there's jingles up your sleeve 
Going down like a pederast in a boy's school 
And you wish that you could stop it 
But the handle's out of reach 
Sinking like a calliope in a whirlpool 
Oh no.. 
 
You're waiting for the green light 
Hanging on for the cold opportunity 
You're waiting for the green light 
As every second of your life keeps slipping 
The time keeps ticking 
The the green light is looking like 
It's never gonna change for you 
 
Time carves initials 
Into the prison of your face 
Creeping like a spy on broken glass 
Cars kiss the tarmac 
As they cut right to the chase 
Cut price epiphany 
But somehow it just never seems to last
