lyrics

You’re driving afternoons, the dust floats in the light
Take air condition, close the windows tight
You’re going faster now, you’re losing track of time.
The streets begin to blur, they start to lose design
The houses quake and slip into the brine
And everything you know is oh so far behind.

Play all the games they put us inside
The boyish grin dies, the useful man sighs.
I sunset drive, I’m drinking my wine
I’m wasting my time, the slackers are fine.

The useless people are all right
They sing their songs into the night
The useless people are all right, I know they’re fine.

You park your car across from the old train station
The white-buttoned shirts and suit jackets run
Un-tuck your baggy shirt and you’re feeling all right.

Play all the games they put us inside
The boyish grin dies, the useful man sighs.
I sunset drive, I’m drinking my wine
I’m wasting my time, the slackers are fine.

The useless people are all right
They sing their songs into the night
The useless people are all right, I know they’re fine.

You place your foot inside of the old train station.
