Less Than Five Miles Away

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 hears his reason 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 gonna say This is all happening right now Less than five miles away This is all happening right now Less than five miles away There's a stranger in the bushes Looking through the windows of a home At a woman from the movies That's been living there alone She's home at 7 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 How we're living out this story that we tell Baby we were both designed out in the cosmos As just a way of asking questions about itself You know the great writer that left us Well his house is still around Like an old dead volcano That sleeps over the town They're gonna 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
