Stand Clear of the Closing Doors Songtext

Stand Clear of the Closing Doors Songtext
She awoke on the fifth day of April
And went to the grocery store
In the air with a radical hum
Stand clear of the closing doors
Late at night as she′s in and out of consciousness
Drifting from the sand to shore
There comes a voice from the deep beyond
And cries "What are you waiting for?"
Blue light of an empty bodega
A rat chews an electrical line
And through the grace of a chain reaction
A life sets a spark and ignites
And that's right
There′s no going back
You can't go back now
Eden's in trouble and it doesn′t look good
′Cause you're locked in a struggle that you barely understood
And lover all they say is, "What are you waiting for?"
I don′t believe you were one to take sides
But your mic is on and if you don't wanna fight in the war
Stand clear of the closing doors
People change like the slow boat to China
They drift from the sea to the shore
They′d rather die than to have to think about
How you get nothing and nothing more
So she awakes on the 17th day of June
Just a little incised
Brushes her teeth and sees a face in the mirror
Like a match sets a spark and ignites
And that's right
There′s no going back
You can't go back now
Eden's in trouble and it doesn′t look good
And you′re locked in a struggle that you barely understood
And lover all they say is, "What are you waiting for?"
I don't believe you were one to take sides
But your mic is on and if you′re not gonna fight in the war
Then stand clear of the closing doors
That's right
There′s no going back
You can't go back now
You can be sure that you′ll never be pure
In your family's eyes
In their Christian cries
But who cares
She awoke on the fifth day of April
And went to the grocery store
In the air with a radical hum
Stand clear of the closing doors
And that's right
There′s no going back
You can′t go back now
Eden's in trouble and it doesn′t look good
And you're locked in a struggle that you never understood
Lover all they say is, "What are you waiting for?"
I don′t believe you were one to take sides
But your mic is on and if you're not gonna fight in the war
Then stand clear of the closing doors
I don′t believe you had any idea that you'd ever have to think or feel
But here you are
Stand clear of the closing doors
And went to the grocery store
In the air with a radical hum
Stand clear of the closing doors
Late at night as she′s in and out of consciousness
Drifting from the sand to shore
There comes a voice from the deep beyond
And cries "What are you waiting for?"
Blue light of an empty bodega
A rat chews an electrical line
And through the grace of a chain reaction
A life sets a spark and ignites
And that's right
There′s no going back
You can't go back now
Eden's in trouble and it doesn′t look good
′Cause you're locked in a struggle that you barely understood
And lover all they say is, "What are you waiting for?"
I don′t believe you were one to take sides
But your mic is on and if you don't wanna fight in the war
Stand clear of the closing doors
People change like the slow boat to China

They′d rather die than to have to think about
How you get nothing and nothing more
So she awakes on the 17th day of June

But here you are
Stand clear of the closing doors
