lyrics

We will remove you from the order of men
We will invert you in your skyscrapers
We've had enough of people writing our names in the sky
'cause we're the serious kind
We're quick to trouble, but we're slow to explain
Rich in verbiage but we're poor talkers
We've had enough of families staring at their T.V.s
'cause we're the serious kind
I know you'll never see things
quite the way we do
but when the night falls, you'll find us sleeping, too.
Take the badge off, 'cause I'm not on your team
We never see you in the newspapers
It's not enough just to endlessly talk on the wire
with a serous mind
I'll kick the soapbox out from under your feet
I know it seems like a cruel picture
We take the steps so that the images flooding our minds
are the serious kind
I know you'll never see things
quite the way we do
but when the night falls, you'll find us
and they'll never let you behind us
when the night falls you'll find us sleeping, too.
