The Himalayans Lyrics
Round Here
Go to sleep little baby.. go to sleep little one
Step out the front door like a ghost
into the fog where no one notices
the contrast of white on white.
And in between the moon and you
the angels get a better view
of the crumbling difference between wrong and right.
I walk in the air between the rain
through myself and back again
Where? I don't know
Maria says she's dying
through the door I hear her crying
Why? I don't know
Round here we always stand up straight
Round here something radiates
Round here we talk just like lions
but we sacrifice like lambs
round here shes slipping through my hands
Maria came from Nashville with a suitcase in her hand
she said she'd like to meet a boy who looks like Elvis
she walks along the edge of where the ocean meets the land
just like she's walking on a wire in the circus
she parks her car outside the warehouse
takes her clothes off
says she's close to understanding Jesus
she knows she's more than just a little misunderstood
she has trouble acting normal when she's nervous
Round here we're carving out our names
Round here we all look the same
Round here we're cool as kittens
Out there the dogs they cry
Round here we're running out of lives
There on the violent side of sleep
shes fast asleep and dreaming
Here on the lightening side of things
she comes awake
She says "It's only in my head"
She says "Shhh I know it's only in my head"
But the girl in car in the parking lot
says "Man you should try to take a shot
can't you see my walls are crumbling?"
Then she looks up at the building
and says she's thinking of jumping
She says she's tired of life
she must be tired of something
Round here she's always on my mind
Round here hey man I got lots of time
Round here we're never sent to bed early
And nobody makes us wait
Round here we stay up very, very, very, very late
I said im under the gun round here
Said im under the gun round here
She said why you gotta always
step out the front door like a ghost in the fog
where no one notices the contrast of white on white
and inbetween the moon and you angels get a better view
of the crumbling difference between wrong and right
I cant see nothing round here
I cant see no no no no nooo round here
I cant see nothing round here
