The lights are always on in the street
So I never sleep
My dreams have turned to plastic and they rattle in my head
And now theres concrete in the yard
Where the sunflowers used to be
I thought I heard your voice but it was only the TV
I think Ill waste away here I think Ill waste away
If the world hasnt killed me yet well its just a matter of days
The poison ate our lungs up and theres not much we can do
If I could I would get on a spaceship
And spend my last days on the moon
They say theyre building us a garden
So when the birds and trees are all gone
Well live where the sky is golden
Bathe in artificial oceans
But if they couldnt tap the marrow
Every river every sparrow
Laying dead inside their cages
Without their songs they have been wasted
They say someday well find the answer
Well be climbing up that ladder
While they burn up in the atmosphere well be okay
Cause well all live in the garden
I want to build a wall around you
And say that Im the one who found you
But despite all my virtue
I know that Im the one who hurts you
Well dont you know they lie dear
There is no better place to find here
They packed up their things and left you
And I dont think I can protect you
But I think that I have found the answer
Yeah Im climbing up that ladder
And Im taking my friends with me and well be okay
Cause well all live in the garden
