Sam's Town

Nobody ever had a dream round here,
but I don't really mind and it's starting to get to me
Nobody ever pulled the seams round here,
but I don't really mind and it's starting to get to me

I've got this energy beneath my feet
like something underground's gonna come up and carry me,
I've got this sentimental heart that beats
and I don't really mind and it's starting to get to me

Now.."Why do you waste my time?"
Is/If the answer to the question on your mind
And I'm sick of all my judges
so scared to walk on by [so scared of what they'll find]
But I know that I can make it
As long as somebody takes me home,
every now and then...

Now/Oh, have you ever seen the lights?
Have you ever seen the lights?

I took the shuttle on a shopway driveway [shockwave ride]
the people the way said don't go that way [?]
I took a boat [bullet] and a hook to that side [I look inside...]
And it's running through my veins
I know there's a faster way [It's an American masquerade]

Blah Blah Blah
Does she know that way..?
I've never really known anyone
Do you know another way?
Red white and blue upon a birthday cake,
And my brother, he was born on the fourth of the July...and that's all

"So why do you waste my time?"
Is/If the answer to the question on your mind
And I'm sick of all my judges
so scared of letting me shine
But I know that I can make it,
as long as somebody takes me home...

Wooooooo!

(every now and then) [x2]

You know I see London, I see Sam's Town
holds/pulls my hand and let's my hair down
Rolls the world right off my shoulder
I see London, I see Sam's Town
