All a round me are fam i liar fa ces, worn out pla ces, worn out fa ces.
Bright and ear ly for their dai ly ra ces, go ing no where, go ing no where.
And I find it kind of fun ny, I find it kind of sad, that dreams in which I’m dy ing are the best I’ve ev er had.
I find it hard to tell you, I find it hard to take, when peo ple run in cir cles, it’s a ver y, ver y
