No Traffic

Lyrics

[Verse 1] You flush a fish down a toilet And look down to see your second hand is dead still You think them somehow connected But you can't be sure and it's just as well [Pre-Chorus 1] What to do next when the shit piles up? You can't decide, you go outside Stand in the moonlight drinking coffee from a paper cup [Verse 2] You'd almost swear you hear voices But you know it's nothing but a noisy, guilty conscience You hear monotonous noises It's that time of night, it's so predictable [Pre-Chorus 2] Oh, what a feeling to listen to your blood The way it feels as it congeals Like someone sucked you dry and pumped you full of rocks and mud [Chorus] Close your eyes No traffic in and out Tired eyes No traffic in and out [Verse 3] You won't decide anything tonight No need to rush things, they'll keep until tomorrow Just make a fresh pot of coffee And stay up all night and get nothing done [Pre-Chorus 3] Don't you hate preference? I know you hate choice Just hang your limbs out in the wind And clear your throat because you don't know when you'll need your voice [Verse 4] You hope it won't be long before You're back in the action like a moth around a light bulb But who gets to say when the switch flips And the light goes off, and you fly away? [Pre-Chorus 4] You could be standing and watching city lights But where you'll be is where you'll be And what you do is up to you Stand still, you've got the right [Chorus] Close your eyes No traffic in or out Tired eyes No traffic in and out [Outro] I think I see the East, I swear I see the East And as I face the East, I swear I taste the East I got to go back, I got to go back East Where there's no traffic in or out
