Good and Plenty

Stepped out to the streetlight as a cold wind cut my face

Fell in with the busy people pushing shoving all about the place

 

Some babe on a billboard up above, she catches my eye

I step around some homeless junkie as I pass her by

 

Don’t dig deep, don’t ask why, there’s no need to justify

When you’re living in the land of good and plenty

 

Slip past a newsstand and the stories all look the same

This place has gone bankrupt and we treat it like a schoolyard game

 

Just take your fill now baby cause there’s always more

There’s no time for thinking about it when you’re trying to score

 

Don’t dig deep, don’t ask why, there’s no need to justify

When you’re living in the land of good and plenty

 

Oh empty city

Oh empty lies

Oh empty stares on this subway train tonight

As our lives go by

 

Run up the stairs to your place

Your sweet promise buzzing through my head

I play the fool at your doorstep

Guess you found some other plans instead

 

The stupid games we play as it all slips through the cracks

The one thing I could never learn was how to never look back

 

Broken souls, you and me

Search the shadows and you’ll see

When you’re living in the land of good and plenty

 

Broken souls, you and me

Search the shadows and you’ll see

When you’re living in this land of good and plenty
