Life is a Problem

Lyrics

I think there's a ghost standing down by the waterfalls Out where the pier lights hit the graffiti walls Watching the trash roll around on the tide The city looks easy from the other side But the waves in between us Are nothing like easy to cross The artist will throw every shadow into the dark Up from Virginia on the sidewalks of old New York Too proud to beg or slam it into reverse When she got in trouble with the universe It was straight to her momma's Or under the wheels of a train Sayin' 'Oh my lord, can I get on board again?' (No way) So send me along out in front of the 5 A nightmare scoochin' down the river Lost in the static Asleep on the waves Through these nightmare days Life is a problem We die on the way home
