From the mountain tops down to the sunny street A different drum is playing a different kind of beat It's like a mystery that never ends I see you crying and I want to kill your friends I hear your footsteps in the street It won't be long before we meet It's obvious Just count me in and count me out and I'll be waiting for the shout Oblivious Met Mo and she's okay, said no one really changed Got different badges but they wear them just the same Down by the ballroom I recognized That flaming fountain in those kindered caring eyes. I hear your footsteps in the street It won't be long before we meet It's obvious Just count me in and count me out and I'll be waiting for the shout Oblivious I hope it haunts me 'til I'm hopeless I hope it hits you when you go And sometimes on the edge of sleeping It rises up to let me know it's not so deep I'm not so slow They're calling all the shots They call and say they phoned They'll call us lonely when we're really just alone And like a funny film, it's kinda cute They bought the bullets and there's no one left to shoot. I hear your footsteps in the street It won't be long before we meet It's obvious Just count me in and count me out and I'll be waiting for the shout Oblivious...
