I woke up this morning and I
looked around
walked downstairs and shouted
"Anyone there?"
Got no answer
So I stepped outside
There were no cars driving by
Nobody walking
No lights on
No planes tracing lines across the sky
No bodies,
No zombies
Nobody
So I walked down to Main Street
Where I'd just strolled a couple days before
And on that day, I had looked in
all the windows of the stores
At every little thing that I could not afford
And here I am again today
There isn't another soul
as far as the eye can see
and all I can say is...
lyrics
Finally
finally, it's all free!
Finally
finally all for me
There's nobody else around and there
isn't gonna be
... all for me
shop windows
full of smart phones
and smart tvs
finally.
no more traffic
no more frantic
people crowding me
...all for me
shop windows
full of sneakers
and jewelry
finally
all for free
all for me...
for only me
only me
