lyrics

lyrics by Greg Lockwood
music by The Mines

Black light pulses on black walls
purple dim haze, I'm amazed.
Remembering the days
but the innocence fades...

Tell me why,
Nothing lasts forever.
Why I can't keep it all together.
Why? Why?

Brother, listen to this state of the union,
I am of the opinion that I need to get paid.
I Spend my time on the ground floor running,
And I need to get paid.

Tell me why,
Nothing lasts forever.
Why I can't keep it all together.
Why? Why?

How will I know when I've made enough?
How will I know if I've made enough, to survive?
All I know is I've not made enough yet.
When will I know if I've made enough?
