Oblivious lyrics


Words and music by Roddy Frame

From the mountain tops down to the sunny street,
A different drum is playing a different kind of beat.
It s like a mystery that never ends.
I see you crying and I want to kill your friends.

Chorus:
I hear your footsteps in the street,
It won t be long before we meet,
It s obvious.
Just count me in and count me out and
I ll be waiting for the shout,
Oblivious...

Met Mo and she s okay, said no-one really changed,
Got different badges but they wear them just the same.
But down by the ballroom I recognized that flaming fountain
in those kindered caring eyes.

Chorus

I hope it haunts me til I m hopeless,
I hope it hits you when you go,
And sometimes on the edge of sleeping
It rises up to let me know it s not so deep,
I m not so slow.

Chorus

They re calling all the shots, they ll call and say they phoned,
They ll call us lonely when we re really just alone.
And like a funny film, it s kinda cute
They ve bought the bullets and there s no-one left to shoot.

Chorus
