Far Away

Song is from One Beat CD/LP, which is available at Kill Rock Stars.
Official lyrics come with the album; I have modified them so that the lyrics posted here
reflect what I actually hear the band singing in the song.
Because that took me lots of time and effort, please do let me know
if you would like to use the lyrics I have posted here on your site.
Or even just reference my site on yours. Thanks!

7:30 am
nurse the baby on the couch
then the phone rings
"Turn on the T.V."
watch the world explode in flames
and don't leave the house

and the sky overhead
is silent, waiting
clear blue holds its breath
and the heart is hit
in a city far away
but it feels so close

don't breathe the air today
don't speak of why you're afraid
WHY CAN'T I GET ALONG
WHY CAN'T I GET ALONG
WHY CAN'T I GET ALONG WITH YOU?
(standing here on a one way road and I fall down,
no other direction for this to go so we fall down,
why can't I get along (3x))

and the president hides
while working men rush in
and give their lives
I look to the sky
and ask it not to rain
on my family tonight

don't breathe the air today
don't speak of why you're afraid
WHY CAN'T I GET ALONG?
WHY CAN'T I GET ALONG?
WHY CAN'T I GET ALONG?
(i'm standing here on a one way road and I fall down,
and i fall down
no other direction for this to go, and we fall down,
and we fall down
why can't I get along? (3x))
WITH YOU?

don't breathe the air today
don't speak of why you're afraid
WHY CAN'T I GET ALONG?
WHY CAN'T I GET ALONG?
WHY CAN'T I GET ALONG?
(i'm standing here on a one way road and I fall down,
and i fall down
no other direction for this to go, and we fall down,
and we fall down
why can't I get along? (3x))
WITH YOU?
