  • Sun's going down let's get together
    On the bridge we'll meet up tonight

    Black pants, red sweatshirt and brown bags
    Above the East River's northern lights

    You see what I see
    I thought it make believe
    Watched the sunrise
    On my street

    Old cement makes for
    A solid place to lay
    Bed of light grey
    My bed of light grey

    While I know it's letters
    That can spell
    I hear now it's words that can say

    I decided to start writing less
    And I'm talking more everyday

    Sixteen of our friends
    A five seat bright red van
    Curbside view
    Turn off of Grand

    Pound my steering wheel
    We yell to the windshield
    I'm finally home
    I'm finally home

    No time for cameras
    We'll use our eyes instead
    No time for cameras
    We'll be gone when we're dead
    No time for cameras
    We'll use our eyes instead
    I see flashes of gold

    Every single car alarm we hear
    We'll steal and throw through their window
    My water comes straight from the tap
    And those bottles are all just for show

    I see that we're made of
    More then blood and bones
    See we're made of
    Sticks and stones

    Don't forget to breathe
    Need locks for your keys
    Don't forget to breathe now
    Forget to breathe now

    No time for cameras
    We'll use our eyes instead
    No time for cameras
    We'll be gone when we're dead
    No time for cameras
    We'll use our eyes instead
    I see flashes of gold

    No time for cameras
    We'll use our eyes instead
    No time for cameras
    We'll be gone when we're dead
    No time for cameras
    We'll use our eyes instead
    I see flashes of gold

    No time for cameras
    We'll use our eyes instead
    No time for cameras
    We'll be gone when we're dead
    No time for cameras
    We'll use our eyes instead
    I see flashes of gold Writer/s: KIMBERLY ANN SCHIFINO, MATTHEW WESLEY JOHNSON
