Left & Right

(álbum: See How We Are - 1987)

Traffic piles up
25 miles
24 hours a day
In front of a line of Spanish-style houses
Pretty little children play

Can't you tell there's trucks out there
They're just waiting for you

That mountain you love is getting washed away
Look out your window and see
There's a man on top
Bawling his eyes out
Just for you and me

Can't you tell there's trucks out there
They're just waiting for you
And everyone is loaded
With the blues

Left and right
Look left and right
And then run like hell
Left and right
Look left and right
And then run like hell

The face of this world is just as flat as hell
Like somebody way up there
Tipped all the troubles onto our side
Tipped 'em way over here
Some people I love cried over the phone
But nobody died, so it's okay
So why is this corner of this flat little world
So full of trouble today?

Can't you tell there's
Trucks out there
They're just waiting for you
And everyone is loaded
With the blues

Left and right
Look left and right
And then run like hell
Left and right
Look left and right
And then run like hell

Oh, left and right
Look left and right
Left and right
Look left and right
Left and right
Look left and right
And then run like hell
