"People Watching" lyrics

"People Watching"

Across the room, across the street
I'm watching you watching me
So is that all there is to see
Are these your only memories

Are you the fly that's on the wall
You can't be caught, you'll never fall
Hiding in secret from us all
Who can you trust, who will you call

There was a time, you could do you
Now all you do is people watch
You people watch, that's all you do
You loved and lost, you people watch

Everybody's people watching
Everybody's punch clocking
Waiting for the moonwalk
To take them back
To dance them away

Everybody shadow boxing
Don't you want to stop drop and roll
Til the whole thing burns
Like you earned the flame
It's all the same

Shame shame shame
Shame shame shame

How can you sleep, how will you die
When this is how you live your life
You see the world while locked inside
It's just a flash before your eyes

We don't know why we can't break through
If all we do is people watch
You people watch, that's all you do
You loved and lost, you people watch

Everybody's people watching
Everybody's punch clocking
Waiting for the moonwalk
To take them back
To dance them away
It's all the same

Everybody shadow boxing
Don't you want to stop drop and roll
Til the whole thing burns
Like you earned the flame
It's all the same

A shame shame shame
Shame shame shame
Shame shame shame

A shame shame shame
Shame shame shame
