[Verse 1]
Yeah I picked it all up and I moved to the city
It's never dark and it doesn't feel right
The bar's are always full and the people are so pretty
Hollow little vessels that survive on the lights

[Verse 2]
Vaguely-rolling hills and a sleepy little sunrise
I even slept a little bit last night
Some populated people, they are waiting for salvation
I've never been there but I heard that it's nice

[Chorus A]
And we go like death can't touch us tonight
Come back barely alive
Now we're right back where we started off
Aw hell, you got me wonderin' why

[Verse 3]
I been movin' logs just to keep the fire burning
My voice is gone but the band wants to play
People go to work and the wheel, it keeps on turning
A little quiet at the end of the day

[Chorus B]
Here we go, like the doomed little creatures we are
Keep our palms to the sky
Now we're right back where we started off
Aw hell, you got me wonderin' why
[Verse 4]
I think about the water that brought me out of hiding
I walk around a little drunk in the rain
Laughin' like a devil in a dim little hallway
I could the minutes 'til I see you again

[Chorus C]
Here we go to a dark and comforting place
Sit and listen to the pines
And now we're right back where we started off
Aw hell, you got me wonderin' why
We're right back where we started off
Aw hell, you got me wonderin' why
