I can`t seem to take you anywhere
you ditched your friends in New York Center (?) Square
where the rank and file shoot us dirty looks
hail a taxicab, don`t want to walk
the nighttime here is a plastic box
gently amplified in the basement rock
the distant tones from the detainees
friendly girls who pack it full of these
when you`re not around, this is our sound

the nighttime here is a plastic box
you can amplify the basement rock
the distant tones from the detainees
friendly girls who pack it full of these
when you`re not around, this is our sound (this is our sound)
when you`re not around, this is our sound (this is our sound)
when you`re not around
this is our sound
this is not a song
there is nothing wrong
when the light inside
is not as bright
