The Way We Live Now Lyrics

Early Day Miners The Way We Live Now

Living alone above the street
Apartments and stairs
Tables and chairs
The building for you...
A remnant, a room which functions no more
An era bygone
The way we live now, all things converge
Close to the bone, too close to call
Clotheslines and Maple trees
He suffers and dreams
I'd rather be home
Than black and red brick
And fire escapes clouding my view
[INSTRUMENTAL]

Eternal life, faulty ledge
Temples fall, a burden
A relic is gone, the children are free
The way we live now
The burden is gone
