Through tinted windows, baby Can't read the writing on the wall Can't understand til you speak in the language of the mall Too busy living lately To ever live without the light I could never leave or believe in another kind of life You think it's like that, but it's really like this You never get caught if you're never locked in You think it's like that, but it's really like this You never get caught if you're never locked in Never give up on the city No, you can't live anywhere else 'Cause it commands every scene and it always plays itself Think it's expensive, baby But all the simple things are free And every street in your dreams is already on the screen You think it's like that, but it's really like this You never get caught if you're never locked in You think it's like that, but it's really like this You never get caught if you're never locked in You think it's like that, but it's really like this You never get caught if you're never locked in You think it's like that, but it's really like this You never get caught if you're never locked in Can you read the writing on the wall? Never get, never get Never get, never get caught On the canyon, driving to the mall Never get, never get caught Never get, never get Stay until the quake evicts me I idle in a parking lot On my search for a space from an orbit 'round the block Think I'm hallucinating Think I might drive into the sea When I remember again there's no truth in memory You think it's like that, but it's really like this You never get caught if you're never locked in You think it's like that, but it's really like this You never get caught if you're never locked in You think it's like that, but it's really like this You never get caught if you're never locked in You think it's like that, but it's really like this You never get caught if you're never locked in Can you read the writing on the wall? Never get, never get Never get, never get caught On the canyon, driving to the mall Never get, never get Never get, never get caught Can you read the writing on the wall? Never get, never get Never get, never get caught On the canyon, driving to the mall Never get, never get Never get, never get caught You think it's like that, but it's really like this You never get caught if you're never locked in
