Less Than Five Miles Away Lyrics - Dawes

Between the cold drinks in the freezer 

And the latest tabloid rags 

A voice screams over the music 

Put the money in the bag 

No one ever gives his reasons 

No one ever hears his name 

This is all happening right now 

Less than five miles away 

A shifty fortune teller 

Communion with the dead 

Lying about the astral plane 

So she can keep her children fed 

Listening to a mother sick with cancer 

Wondering what she's going to say 

This is all happening right now 

Less than five miles away 

This is all happening right now 

Less than five miles away

A stranger in the bushes 

Looking through the windows of a home 

At a woman from the movies 

Who's been living there alone 

She's home at seven in the evening 

He sees the code punched in the gate 

This is all happening right now 

Less than five miles away 

This is all happening right now 

And it all looks so pretty from a distance 

We're all living out this story that we tell 

Maybe we were both designed out in the cosmos 

As just a way of asking questions about itself 

Photos 

You know the great writer that left us 

Well his house is still around 

Like an old dead volcano 

That's sleeps over the town 

They're going to turn it into condos 

They'll be done by New Year's Day 

This is all happening right now 

Less than five miles away 

This is all happening right now
