I step out the front door like a ghost into a fog
Where no one notices the contrast of white on white
And in between the moon and you,
Angels get a better view,
Of the crumbling, difference between wrong and right
Well I walk in the air, between the rain
Through myself and back again where, I don't know
Maria says she's dying, through the door I hear her crying
Why, I don't know
Round here, we always stand up straight
Round here, something radiates
Maria came from Nashville
With a suitcase in her hand
she said she'd like to meet a boy who looks like Elvis
And she walked along the edge of where the ocean meets the land
Just like she's walking on a wire in the circus
She parks her car outside of my house and takes her clothes off
Says she's close to understanding Jesus
And she knows she's more than just a little, misunderstood
She has trouble acting normal when she's nervous
Round here, we're carving out our names
Round here, we all look the same
Round here we talk just like lions
But we sacrifice like lambs
Round here, she's slipping through my hands
[Seepin children] better run like the wind
Out of the [light man dream]
Momma's little girl better get her self in
Out of the [light man]
She says it's only in my head
She says, I know, it's only in my head
But the girl on the car in the parking lot
Says man you should try to take a shot
Can't you see my walls are crumbling
And she looks up at the building
Says she's thinking of jumping
Says she's tired of life, she must be tired of something
Round here, she's always on my mind
Round here, hey man, we got lots of time
Round here we never sense a better one
And nobody makes us wait
Round here we stay up very very, very very late, I
I can't see nothing, nothing, around here
You catch me if I'm falling, you catch me if I'm falling
And you catch me cause I'm falling down on you
I said I'm under the gun
Around here
Oh man I said I'm under the gun
And I can't see nothing, nothing
Round here
