A Night Like This

My life is a marathon
Our milk and honey days are gone
The short-waves have taken the long way home
The four corners are neatly folded sound the bell

The war is over
Walls are just sand and paper and sin
When the earth's moving we're all traveling
No one ever keeps all their belongings

They have taken all precaution with it
All the safety lost in translation
If protecting the family
We are hiding underneath the bed, we fear

We'll catch our death
If our neighbors have some secrets from us
When the earth's moving we're all traveling
No one ever keeps all their belongings

The rising tide of traffic
On the east side of town is routine
Or frustrating or your walking
They all smoke inside

Their sweaters drinking their mouths shut
Money is a disaster if this what you buy with it
I take a deep breath, I let freedom ring
Everyone can keep their belongings

The evening so long
I think I might go out on a night like this
In late July
