Grey light, new day leaks through the window And some old soul song comes on the alarm clock radio We walk the forty blocks to the middle Of the place we heard where everything would be And there were barricades to keep us off the street But the crowd kept pushing forward Until they swallowed the police Yeah, they went wild

We left before the dust had time to settle And all the broken glass swept off the avenue And on the way home I held your camera like a bible Just wishing so bad that it held some kind of truth And I stood nervous next to you in the dark room You dropped the paper in the water And it all begins to bloom Yeah, they go wild

And just when I get so lonesome I can’t speak I see some flowers on a hillside Like a wall of new TVs Yeah, they go wild
