Around here there's a man who said You've done nothing 'till you've risen from the dead I don't know but that sure seems hard to do Around here there's a woman who cried You've lost nothin' 'till your baby has died I don't know but that sure seems like it's true Your pleasant conversation Endorses your desolation Around here there's a mean man with money He gives it to them who would call him honey Sycophanting must be the thing to do Around here walks a boy with a cane Raised in fear still no one would he blame Somebody got away with being cruel With a wink and a node You live your lies you call God Oh how to crawl back to the moment of your choice Why was it so easy to fall so deep into the blue Around here, doesn't matter what you believe It's the same when you return as when you leave That's how it is so deep in the blue, breathing blue
