Lyrics
I can see the city streets
They're sprawling out in front of me
The trees are green but they're so far away
This pavement's grey and it's here to stay
If I never understand
Then I never have to hide
If we never have to leave this place
Then we never have to die
We can take the long way home
Fall in love between telephone poles
The cracks beneath our feet are sharp
There's always light even after dark
If I never understand
Then I never have to hide
If we never have to leave this place
Then we never have to die
There's not always light in the heart of the darkness
Dirty streets make even the sweetest fruit rotten
We've strayed too far from our roots
And our children will pay for our fathers' views'
We came from the forest and we left our trees
We put on clothes and we built machines
Test the limits of science and the will of the gods
Human being are nothing but organized frauds
If I never understand
Then I never have to hide
If we never have to leave this place
Then we never have to die
