The Extra Lens
What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
Up and down the shining aisles
2
The all-night grocery store on Melrose
3
Dozens of us exiles from the mother-ship
4
The whole wide Western world is at our fingertips
5
The while moon hangs high above the city
6
And while the night begins to flex its jaws
7
We meet up like a loos-knit congregation
8
Or like spies who need to pass on information
9
How much longer are we supposed to stay alive?
10
Gathering by the Portuguese sardines in aisle five
11
Mounds of California avocados
12
Like offerings to an unresponsive god
13
I wore my suit from Hong Kong to the store tonight
14
'Cause it fits me just right
15
And suddenly the lights out in the parking lot
16
Begin to burst like sodas under pressure
17
One by one they throw themselves against the night sky
18
And almost unremarked upon the moment passes by
19
Though one or two of us
20
Point our fingers outside
21
Eyes glazed, mouths wide
22
Listening to that still small voice within us
23
Doesn't seem to do us any good
24
Try to take that in stride
25
And try to let the moment slide
26
And we fiddle with our cellphones
27
Until our thumbs are sore
28
And the music on the speakers overhead
29
Is fainter than the voices of the dead
30
How much longer
31
Are we supposed to stay alive?
32
Gathering by the Portuguese sardines in aisle five
