lyrics

YOU ARE NOT A STONE


You are not a stone
you’re made of skin and bone
and no one’s living long enough to go it alone

it’s hard to be connected
even with a phone
the universe is giving you a dial tone

you listen to the wind
and how the women moan
but maybe you would rather have a microphone

I’M LOOKING FOR ALLIANCES
THE CITY HAS AN AMBIENCE
PEOPLE TAKE THEIR CHANCES
I DON’T NEED AN AMBULANCE

you’re not well adjusted
as your life has shown
the government is taking out another loan

some people are mechanical
they turn into a drone
if you are independent you are on your own

and so you walk around
exploring the unknown
if there’s a mountain lion you should leave it alone

I’M LOOKING FOR ALLIANCES
THE CITY HAS AN AMBIENCE
SO THE PEOPLE TAKE THEIR CHANCES
I DON’T NEED AN AMBULANCE

YOU LIVE ALONE, IT’S NOT A LIE,
YOU LIVE A LIE, YOU’RE NOT ALONE
