Gray light, new day leaks through the window
An old soul song comes on the alarm clock radio
We walk the forty blocks to the middle

Of the place we heard that everything would be
And there were barricades to keep us off the street
But the crowd kept pushing forward

Till they swallowed the police
Ya they went wild
We left before the dust had time to settle

Now all the broken glass swept off the avenue
And on the way home held your camera like a bible
Just wishing so bad that it held some kind of truth

And I stood nervous next to you in the dark room
You dropped the paper in the water
And it all begins to bloom

Ya they go wild
And just when I get so lonesome I cant speak
I see some flowers on the hillside

Like a wall of new TVs
Ya they go wild
