Menudo

Lyrics

[Verse 1] One by one, they came A choir of liars turned insane Desire squeezes reason from your brain [Verse 2] Water in their socks Crashed their boats into cliffs and rocks And left their sons and daughters in the rain [Pre-Chorus] And when they heard the sirens' song They couldn't help but sing along Singing all night long like they're doing nothing wrong [Chorus] And when the cops came and hunted them down They couldn't believe it 'Cause in the dark forest where they were found There's nobody grieving Where'd the call come from? [Verse 3] Up and gone away You're never gonna find me yesterday I told you put that camera away [Verse 4] The creek runs cold today Running through tunnels to get away Karaoke at the carnival on Main [Pre-Chorus] And when I heard the sirens' song I couldn't bear to sing along I was terrified just hearing it was doing something wrong [Chorus] And when the cops came and hunted me down I couldn't believe it 'Cause in the dark forest where I was found There's nobody leaving There's only me [Verse 5] Odysseus was wise to turn away Parthenope So I cut off my ears for anybody who can sing Been waiting 20 years for my reward for drifting And now I'm waiting on my confidence to wander back to me [Verse 6] We live a million lives, but only one that we can see Somewhere I'm your neighbor, I can help you if you need I'll be in my backyard, slowly raking up the leaves Bag 'em up and tie 'em off and leave 'em by the street [Chorus] And when the cops came and hunted me down I couldn't believe it 'Cause in the dark forest where I was found There's nobody breathing There's only me
