Obvious Bicycle

(album: Modern Vampires Of The City - 2013)

Morning's come, you watch the red sunrise
The LED still flickers in your eyes
Oh you oughta spare your face the razor
Because no one's gonna spare the time for you

No one's gonna watch you as you go
From a house you didn't build and can't control
Oh you oughta spare your face the razor
Because no one's gonna spare the time for you
You oughta spare the world your labor
It's been 20 years and no one's told the truth

So listen oh
So listen oh
Don't wait
Don't wait

So listen oh
So listen oh
Don't wait
Don't wait

So keep that list of who to thank in mind
And don't forget the rich ones who were kind
Oh you oughta spare your face the razor
Because no one's gonna spare the time for you
Why don't you spare the world a traitor
Take your wager back and leave before you lose

So listen oh
So listen oh
Don't wait
Don't wait

So while the sun's coming up
Cover ground
Cover ground
And if you find some love for these clowns
Turn around
Turn around

We'll be half asleep on the floor of our high school gym
Thinking of you and wondering if anyone else could begin

To listen
Listen
Don't wait
Don't wait

So listen oh
So listen oh
Don't wait
Don't wait
