As Usual lyrics

So, first there was a road, was a brick road painted yellow, looks the same but not as new.

Skipping over chalk when we walk trying to find a way to keep themselves away from you.

All the girls and the boys find a way here to play but the games all turn out to be tragedies.

Looking for directions, keeping my intentions, knowing you're okay but not with me.

Driving in your car, going far, feeling wind in my hair, it's a mess but you just don't care.

Testing for a vibe when you try to create some magic in this stale air.

Meetings, feelings, greeting, every person who has felt that way.

Searching for your place, for a name in the waste of the city, lighting up this place.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,

everything's as usual.

I'm where I've never been,

I'm where I've never been.

Then there was a babe, was a tall babe, smoking on a fag in his mother's living room,

hoping that she'd catch him, steal it and detach him, he wanted to be seen through his faces mood.

Sheri's got a Caity, she was just a baby shouting out to the world "Look what I can do!"

Looking for reactions, getting satisfaction, kids in the hall are in broken shoes.

We're fine, we're fine, not blind, who's got the cash? Spend it fast before they do.

Put your dirty deeds in the back seat, making sure you look sweet, never let them see through you.

Feeling kind of easy, moving when they need me, talking to my feelings, thoughts and dealing,

looking in the past, I react moving fast lighting spit fire's in the streets for you.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,

everything's as usual,

I'm where I've never been,

I'm where I've never been.

I never wanted to be,

I never wanted to change,

now can you take it all away,

I'm not far from paranoid.

Driving in your car, going far, feeling wind in my hair, it's a mess but you just don't care.

Testing for a vibe when you try to create some magic in this stale air.

Meetings, feelings, greeting, every person who has felt that way.

Searching for your place, for a name, in the waste of the city, lighting up this place.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,

everything's as usual,

I'm where I've never been,

I'm where I've never been.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
