Bunker Hill Lyrics - Singles - Michael Penn

Always thought it was a game with us 

Move until enough's enough 

into a picture-perfect view 

I'd like to rip it up with you 

Why would anybody leave this place? 

It's overdrawn 

and won't erase 

And if you're feeling incomplete 

the line is stretching up the street 

So take a look 

but you might stay until 

you have counted every light from Bunker Hill 

Take a coat you're going to freeze 

My baby sees every sentence with an underline 

never uses turpentine 

Put out a fleece and build a kite 

A siren's going off tonight 

Lay your head down 

Do you call this chance? 

Found the exit 

this entrance 

Now's the time 

(and it is still) 

I'm sorry that I kept you waiting here until 

Hey, Luanda 

do you want a thrill? 

We can watch the lights shine up from Bunker Hill 

But if it puts your heart at ease 

my baby, please... 

Try, 

but you can't hide 

Impossible. You're lit from the inside 

And all I've got to do is 

keep my eyes above the ground 

to see you move around 

The only points of light are fires on Vermont 

Somebody must suspect that all we really want 

is a tranquilizer gun to fill 

It's a free-for-all on Bunker Hill 

and everybody wets their knees 

on the trapeze...
