Banner Pilot - Isolani lyrics

At the bus stop we're the pawns and we just do what we're told But on your rooftop w'ere the kings and we look down on this whole town You know it looks a lot like last year Spend our time in just one place If I wrote the story of my life here, a couple things that I'd erase Don't you ever want to go? Wait for some kind of sign that shows us where to go tonight Underneath the northern lights Up here like I can finally see I look past the buildings, all these trees that line a dead-end street Get all the way to New Orleans tonight And when the fog sets, it's a softer side of urban decay We go no nets I watch a can roll down; I hear it hit the driveway Anchorless, like a novel writ by Steinbeck We're in a Midwest dust bowl When you count the days 'til your next paycheck, it's a world of mice and men Don't you ever want to go? Wait for some kind of sign that shows us where to go tonight Underneath the northern lights Up here like I can finally see I look past the buildings, all these trees that line a dead-end street Get all the way to New Orleans tonight On the edge, the world seems to stop I can feel the wind and my stomach drop If we're stuck and if we never leave, we've still got moments here like these Lying on our backs, counting stars in the summer night Above the sidewalk cracks, getting bathed in the billboard light
