Sprawl I (Flatland)

Took a drive, into the sprawl
To find the house where we used to stay
Couldn’t read, the number in the dark
You said, let’s save it for another day

Took a drive, into the sprawl
To find the places we used to play
It was the loneliest day of my life
You’re talking at me but I’m still far away

Let’s take a drive, through the sprawl
To these towns, they built to change
And then you said, “The emotions are dead”
It’s no wonder that you feel so strange

Cops shone their lights, on the reflectors of our bikes
Said, “Do you kids know what time it is?”
“Well, sir, it’s the first time I felt like something was mine”
Like I have something to give

The last defender, of the sprawl
Said, ‘Well, where do you kids live?”
“Well, sir, if you only knew what the answer is worth”
“Been searching every corner of the Earth”
