Nothing amazing happens here Everything is ordinary A city of red and grey Of invisible change And where everything's the same Where pollution keeps drowning us down I know you're waiting for something bigger Don't overflow Just hang around by the river Let's meet under the bridge at dusk Even if it seems like a lost cause Smoking your problems away You watched me burning the city everyday With my older brother's baseball bat While you played in the grass with a black stray cat Factories on our horizon and very little green White steam-like smoke a dubious omen of sorts Covering the city above and below Vespa bikes unhinging my consciousness Feel the beating of the bass pound my senses I know you're waiting for something bigger Don't overflow Just hang around by the river Let's meet under the bridge at dusk Even if it seems like a lost cause Smoking your problems away You watched me burning the city everyday With my older brother's baseball bat While you played in the grass with a black stray cat Why do you like making your shoes wet? When you're playin' with your Game-Boy at sunset You keep taking pictures with that old camera Push the tears back, don't run away Keep riding on a shooting star each night! I know you're waiting for something bigger Don't overflow Just hang around by the river Let's meet under the bridge at dusk Even if it seems like a lost cause Smoking your problems away You watched me burning the city everyday With my older brother's baseball bat While you played in the grass with a black stray cat I wish I had true friends Like others seem to have Those friends on whom I can always rely But I'm quite a distant person I can't hold on to such things So I know I'll never have them 'Cuz to most I'm just a stupid boring kid Guess I'm too shy I'm just like that And you're not waiting Under the bridge anymore Nothing amazing happens here Everything is ordinary
