This Is How
This Is Howthe sun starts to climb in the eastern sky brings a quiet sleeping town back to life the lights turn from green to yellow to red the sidewalk starts filling up againa man in a black suit stands alone on a bridge wishing for a womanthat will never be his the cars that pass him by have different shapes and namesthey were made by different people in a thousand different placesand thepeople who drive them don't know those names but they know where they're goingbecause it's always the sameand the sounds that they make wake the people wholive in the houses along side the over crowded highwaysas the earth turns the sun seems to movehigher in the sky eyes, mouths and doors keep opening wide an old man takes aseat in the chair on his porch to watch the young men on their way to do whatthey think is importantand the school teachers, ditch diggers, criminalsand cops take their places at the bottom and their places at the topSongtexteandwhatever they'll do is based on what they've done they'll live to get old orthey'll live to die youngand this is how we'll get what we need, what we'rewanting we'll close our eyes and shoot up at the sky until we hit something
