Lyrics
Verse 1:
In the tunnels and the plaza
On the curbside, they just want to bring me down
And I can't help but frown
The unwanted and obnoxious
Seek their profits from false prophecies they sell
What do they know of hell?
Chorus:
And it's so easy to be misleading
To an everlasting soul
These streets are sacred if you can fake it
Without letting yourself know
Verse 2:
Like a tumor in a widow
With no family who's outlived all that she knows
See how the river flows
In a dream there was a great ape
Was an infant who did orate like a god
It was a little odd
[Chorus]
Bridge:
I'll steal your sadness
I'll steal your sadness, but you -
I'll steal your sadness, but you -
You can't touch mine
Verse 3:
So shut your trap, you goddamned weirdo
You are not a superhero; can't you see
It wasn't meant to be
With the bullshit that they're flaunting
Won't these spectres cease their haunting and be still
You know they never will
[Chorus 2x]
