ARI HEST - They\'re On To Me lyrics

rate me

The tile in the kitchen is cracking<br />

The stairs through the basement are sinking<br />

Somebody told me I'm crazy<br />

Thinking past the limits of thinking<br />

The crevice in the ceiling is rusting<br />

Who knows when it will cave in?<br />

The image of a broken heart bursting<br />

In the window that mirrors my skin<br />

<br />

I go walking through this city<br />

Trying to avoid the sidewalk cracks<br />

Every step I am taking<br />

I fear I'm under attack<br />

<br />

They're on to me<br />

And I am scared to no end<br />

Once I had the control<br />

Rules were there to bend<br />

But now they're on to me<br />

And I don't know how to get out, no<br />

The thought never crossed my mind<br />

Oh, yeah I've run out of time<br />

<br />

The fire from the stove is blazing<br />

Spreading throughout my home<br />

I didn't know what I was risking<br />

Living here all alone<br />

I could go out to the country<br />

And hide there among the mountains<br />

But sooner or later I'd grow thirsty<br />

And wish I could drink from the fountains<br />

<br />

I go walking through this city<br />

Trying to avoid the sidewalk cracks<br />

Every step I am taking<br />

I fear I'm under attack<br />

<br />

They're on to me<br />

And I am scared to no end<br />

Once I had the control<br />

Rules were there to bend<br />

But now they're on to me<br />

And I don't know how to get out, no<br />

The thought never crossed my mind<br />

Oh, I've run out of time<br />

<br />

Out of time<br />

Out of time<br />

<br />

I go walking through this city<br />

Trying to avoid the sidewalk cracks<br />

Every step I am taking<br />

Every step I am taking<br />

Every step, every step<br />

I fear I'm under attack<br />

<br />

They're on to me<br />

And I am scared to no end<br />

Once I had the control<br />

Rules were there to bend<br />

But now they're on to me<br />

And I don't know how to get out, no<br />

The thought never crossed my mind<br />

Crossed my mind, Crossed my mind<br />

Oh, I've run out of time
