Life In Quarantine

<p>The sidewalks are empty The bars and cafes too The streetlights only changing 'Cause they ain't got nothing better to do</p><p>You say it's like Christmas When nobody's around When our city was still a secret Before those carpetbaggers came to town and</p><p>The airports and train stations Are full of desperate people Trying to convince the gate agents That not all emergencies are equal</p><p>But no one is going anywhere soon Then inside the safeway It's like the Eastern Bloc People have a way of getting crazy</p><p>When they think they'll be dead in a month But you like the silence Of the wind through the trees And I like walking beside you</p><p>Through these days of no guarantees and National Guard is on their way To protect us from our neighbors And everyone who's tried to swim for it</p><p>Has drowned out past the breakers The airports and train stations Are full of desperate people No one is going anywhere soon No one is going anywhere soon</p>
