 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.
 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 of my house,  takes her clothes off,
 Say's  she's close to understanding Jesus
 She knows  she's more than just a little misunderstood
 She has trouble acting  normal when shes nervous
 Round here  we're carving  out our names
 Round here  we  all look the same
 Round here  we talk just like lions
 But we're  sacrificed like lambs
 Round here  she's slipping  through my hands

 wooo-oh
 Sleeping children better running  like the wind
 Out of the lightning  dream
 Mama's  little baby better get herself  in
Out  of the lightning
 She says,  "It's only in my head."
 She says,  "shh...I know it's only  in my head."
 But the girl  on the 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
 Say's 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, 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 can't see nothin',  nothin'
 Round here
 You catch me if i'm falling,
 You catch me if i'm falling,
 Will you catch me cause i'm falling  down on you
  I said I am under  the gun
 around here
 Oh, man I said i'm under  the gun
 Round here
  And I can't see nothin', nothin'
 Round here.
