Lyrics

[Verse 1]

He wakes up in the morning

Does his teeth bite to eat and he's rolling

Never changes a thing

The week ends, the week begins

She thinks, we look at each other

Wondering what the other is thinking

But we never say a thing

These crimes between us grow deeper

[Instrumental]

Take these chances

Place them in a box until a quieter time

Lights down, you up and die

[Verse 2]

Goes to visit his mommy

She feeds him well his concerns

He forgets them

And remembers being small

Playing under the table and dreaming

[Chorus]

Take these chances

Place them in a box until a quieter time

Lights down, you up and die

[Instrumental]

Driving along this highway

All these cars end up on the sidewalk

People in every direction

No words exchanged

No time to exchange

[Bridge]

When all the little ants are marching

Red and black antennae waving

They all do it the same

They all do it the same way

[Verse 3]

Candyman tempting the thoughts of a

Sweet tooth tortured by the weight loss

Program cutting the corners

Loose end, loose end, cut, cut

On the fence, could not to offend

Cut, cut, cut, cut

[Chorus]

Take these chances

Place them in a box until a quieter time

Lights down, you up and die

[Instrumental]

Lights down, you up and die
