lyrics

Flashing ambulance lights
Reflected on the metal
Sliding up and down the metal
The cold, hard metal
The blade was finally put to use
Lies there on the pavement
In the gutter by the corner
The cold, hard pavement

There’ll have to be a new category
To divide experiences

Say what you will, it'll never do

Wave goodbye to your friends on the boat
Blow the horn in the car to be sure
Out on the open sea, how estranged we can be
This may be the last time, you might not be happy
Anymore, anymore, anymore
There’ll have to be a new category
To divide experiences

There’ll have to be a new category
That’s what they’re telling me
Wave goodbye for the last time
You can’t live your own life anymore

No more, no more
(Wave goodbye to your friends on the boat)
They want, they want
To divide everything
Don’t you let them do it
