"Escalator" lyrics

I walked around the plaza with my shoes off
Ran into a boy that I grew up with
Said "hey, don't I know you from somewhere?"

My feet got caught in the escalator
Skin got ripped off my body
My bones got shredded to nothing

And even though you're talking, you're still nameless
And even though you live here, you still praise it
You gotta keep going, keep racing

The car was caught out on the train tracks
Once more, believe it
You know I didn't listen the last time but will you
Repeat it? I'm not without my reasons

Ambulance at peak hour? Keep dreaming!
Rejection of a movement? It's in season!
Your child will deem you worthless, you space taker
Our love is never frozen, it's just lazy
Our house is never homely, it just sits there
But everybody's good to someone

He's at the bottom of the lake again
Just get him out and see if he's got his reason
Or if he still believes it

You'll never know beyond your self-interest
You'll never know above, so quit believing
It's a good time if you let it

You'll never know beyond your self-interest
You'll never know above, so quit believing
It's a good time if you let it

Cause you'll never know beyond your self-interest
You'll never know above, so quit believing
Yeah, it's a good time if you let it
