ibi dreams of pavement

Well I got shot right in the back
And you weren't there, you weren't there
And I said I was never coming back
You weren't there, you weren't there
And I know the islands are under attack
You weren't there, you weren't there
And that's all the passion wants to attract
'Cause you weren't there, you weren't there

And if God is waiting
Cut the hands off the minions
Don't get high on what you create

Well I saw the desert turn into rain
You weren't there, you weren't there
And all this attraction's made it on time
'Cause you weren't there, you weren't there
And all of the nice boys wait for the sign
You weren't there, you weren't there
And all of the time, the time, the time

And if love is what they gave
Turnin' wives into heroes
Don't get high on what you create
Or it might just steal you.
