Lyrics

Blank-faced
Was this what our elders taught?
Dim the lights and live like story book
I can't focus for the pinball
I'm all shook up and I think I see it all
But I know that it ain't that simple

I got loose
Up on the roof
Waiting for you

Two-faced
Was this was out elders taught?
We're human too
Indulge in small talk
I take a walk down the alley
Some drunk half-kills me
We're fighting on the floor for a ha'penny

I got loose
Up on the roof
Waiting for you

Well, I guess I'm waiting for the punchline
I'm a refugee with a rare find
I've got a place where I can unwind

I got loose
Up on the roof
Waiting for you
We'll hide
