People Watching Lyrics by Air Traffic Controller

Black Box

2016

[Verse 1]
Across the room
Across the street
I'm watching you, watching me
So is that all there is to see
Are these your only memories?
Are you the fly that's on the wall
You can't be caught, you'll never fall
Hiding in secret from us all
Who can you trust, who will you call
[Refrain]
There was a time, you could do you
Now all you do is people watch
You people watch, that's all you do
You loved and lost, you people watch
[Chorus]
Everybody's people watching
Everybody's punch clocking
Waiting for the moonwalk
To take them back
To dance them away
Everybody's shadow boxing
Don't you want to stop drop and roll
Til the whole thing burns
Like you earned the flame
It's all the same
[Post-Chorus]
Shame shame shame
[Verse 2]
How can you sleep
How will you die
When this is how you live your life
You see the world while locked inside
It's just a flash before your eyes
[Refrain]
We don't know why, we can't break through
If all we do is people watch
You people watch, that's all you do
You loved and lost, you people watch
[Chorus]
Everybody's people watching
Everybody's punch clocking
Waiting for the moonwalk
To take them back
To dance them away
It's all the same
Everybody's shadow boxing
Don't you want to stop drop and roll
Til the whole thing burns
Like you earned the flame
It's all the same
[Post-Chorus]
Shame shame shame
Shame shame shame
Shame shame shame
A shame shame shame
Shame shame shame
