This town will never change People come and go, it's all the same Speed the roads on our doubting days To any place that's far away I never learned anybody's name We all vowed that we wouldn't stay Kissing signs on the interstate All we do for now is sit and wait Ah, In our idle town ah, in our idle town Yeah, we invent our own little games (in our idle town) When the lights out at the stadium, hey (in our idle town) Making life a spinning arcade (in our idle town) And curfew's at midnight, we watch the sunrise We watch the sunrise We watch the sun Springtime when the air is thin We're getting antsy and they're noticing While everybody's off partying We're watching stars over ice-cream And now we're kicking up to seventh gear And we're breathing in the atmosphere And I don't even need a sip of beer Yeah I can feel it all Ah, In our idle town ah, in our idle town Yeah, we invent our own little games (in our idle town) When the lights out at the stadium, hey (in our idle town) Making life a spinning arcade (in our idle town) And curfew's at midnight, we watch the sunrise We watch the sunrise We watch the sun Bridge And they watched the sunrise Blinking out of red eyes, and sore minds The airplanes keep flying by, and they cry 'Cause they've never even touched the sky No, they'll never even touch the sky Yeah we invent our own little games (in our idle town) And everybody's trying to escape (in our idle town) Killing time at the yellow café (in our idle town) And curfew's at midnight (in our idle town) Yeah I think that we'll all be okay (in our idle town) The idle town will stay as it stays (in our idle town) And everyone I love's in this place (in our idle town) So curfew's at midnight We watch the sunrise
