Grief stricken dumbstruck, it's getting away
Gotta get yourself some gravity and make an escape
You've gotta find a release, you need to try and relax
But once you step off the ledge there ain't no going back
Well I've been here so long that I'm running on fumes
These remains of the day, they're like secrets exhumed
We don't know what we're doing, we could never admit
We're all pushing and shoving just to try and exist
So hold on tight, don't bother looking down tonight
Down these laneways there's a light but it's not coming on anymore
Clutching all meanings with addictions unclear
Every reason unsettled to be miserable here
Though when we've stopped moving on, there remains an excuse
To forget what's been done and take in some abuse
It's like all that's worth saving as crumbled away
Without a memory to share, only debts to repay
For each poet a liar, every cynic a saint
With nothing to show from what they fought to obtain
So hold on tight, don't bother looking down tonight
Down these laneways there's a light but it's not coming on anymore
Now every time anybody's thinking of you
They don't recognize the face they all thought they once knew
With nothing realized, it doesn't matter much anymore
It never made sense as we ran for the door
Everybody's been screaming but they don't know what for
In an instant we saw it but it caught us too late
You're not coming around, you're not coming today
So hold on tight, don't bother looking down tonight
Down these laneways there's a light but it's not coming on anymore
Now come on down, don't bother looking back around
From these laneways there's a sound but it's not coming on anymore
It's not coming on anymore, it's not coming on anymore
It's not coming on anymore
