Christmas Lights in August (feat. D L Burdon & His Questionable Intentions)

Christmas lights in august, people spitting when they talk Demanding my attention like a teacher throwing chalk Recent accusations and the wingspan of a dove Your clothes still stink from other people spitting from above Masters of the social contract try to take you home Where everything thing you bought is on the cusp of being sold Make them love the pieces of you they left on the floor Not pushing you but sitting back and waiting for a fall I never even knew there was a line To cross and you just made me cross it twice I never even knew there was a line To cross and you just made me cross it twice The kings of 'if' and "oh, whatever" just declared a war Now calculate the average wage of those who're bound to fall Maybe all the things they hate keep other people strong Just ordinary people seeking shelter from the storm I never even knew there was a line To cross and you just made me cross it twice I never even knew there was a line To cross and you just made me cross it twice This city's night time skyline looks like rows of broken teeth Kicked out and trampled on by patent leather heels Money flows the wrong way down a one way street As we sit here cap in hand where need and envy meet I never even knew there was a line To cross and you just made me cross it twice I never even knew there was a line To cross and you just made me cross it twice I never even knew that there was a line I never even knew that there was a line
