AM Taxi - Dead Street lyrics

There's a lightning under the ceiling Every struck kid looking for feeling Is gonna raise a cup When the moon is up Because there's nothing else here to do She has a parked cab Begging to leave this With a bar tab bigger than Jesus And a reason for every bullet hole in the Plot laid out for her All the strung-out kids on Dead Street Gave her directions and a fix She's got money left for a ticket out She'd rather drink 'till she don't exist Everybody knows That there's no way out of here Everybody's trying but we just can't leave We got pushed about And the end's not what it seems Packing our bags to kiss it goodbye In our wildest dreams In our wildest dreams In our wildest dreams They give you TV To buy what they sell you They give you Bibles To do what they tell you Until the skin and bones Of a programmed home Are the only things to control Between the schools and the factories There's a hidden path that you can't see One by one they keep turning up They've got a new life here in store And all the red lights took the night off As the streets lay bored again The old theaters and churches pray for the Wrecking ball to swing Everybody knows That there's no way out of here Everybody's trying but we just can't leave We got pushed about And the end's not worth the means Packing our bags to kiss it goodbye In our wildest dreams In our wildest dreams In our wildest dreams So how are we gonna carry this ahead Before their trite defeated eyes I think they'd rather bury us instead Under these dark and defeated skies We hang like question marks at the end Of every dream I'd rather be a fugitive Than die here in between Everybody knows That there's no way out of here Everybody's trying but we just can't leave We got pushed about And the end's not what it seems Packing our bags to kiss it goodbye In our wildest dreams Everybody knows That there's no way out of here (Not what it seems) Everybody's trying, trying but we just can't leave (Not worth the means means) We got pushed about And the end's not worth the means Packing our bags to kiss it goodbye In our wildest dreams In our wildest dreams Dreams In our wildest dreams Dreams In our wildest dreams Dreams In our wildest Dreams Dreams
