lyrics

At dawn it rises up / like a Himalayan ridge
Works stuffed in my backpack / to cross the Ben Franklin Bridge
Camden town lays there / like a dead dog on the road
Greeting suburban eyes / in survival mode

Cops might see me coming / but always let me pass
I got holes in my work boots / and balls made of brass
You get it from the train tracks / and the Oxy coming down
Like dry leaves in the fall / in the backyards of this town

We all got a ramble / but who the hell has time
To document the brain cells / that a generation left behind

Isolation in HD / behind the kitchen door
Just wanna feel something / different than before
This ain't no story / so I don't know where it ends
I got the will but not the sense / to make my own amends
Don't wanna get old / rather run out of time
Chasing these shadows / across the borderline

We all got a ramble / but who the hell has time
To document the brain cells / that a generation left behind

At dawn it rises up / like a Himalayan ridge
Works stuffed in my backpack / to cross the Ben Franklin Bridge
