Stop n’ Shop

[Verse 1]

Thought the wall was a gun

And that the gun was a flag

That the flag was a truck

And that the truck a mighty bird of prey

[Pre-Chorus]

'Fraid they'd take it away from you

Why would they take it away from you?

[Chorus]

For without it, where would you be?

At the stop 'n' shop at Route 43, that's where you'd be now

[Refrain]

Objects may appear to be more than they appear to be

More than this reality, a salve for your insecurity

More than what they are

It's what you think you are

Woah, you hear that dissonance now (Dissonance)

Yeah, the sound of sweet romance now (Sweet romance)

Mmm, it's an awkward dance (Awkward dance)

Mmm, the sound of sweet romancе now

[Verse 2]

Oh, listen, isn't there somеthing that's missing here?

Isn't there more to choose from than false choices and fear?

[Chorus]

For without it, where would you be?

At the stop 'n' shop at Route 43, that's where you'd be

[Verse 3]

Thought the hat was a fist

And that the fist was a bust

Of a horse or an obelisk

Clenched fist to the arsonist grist for the mill of a pacifist?

Sounds like a job for Sisyphus

[Pre-Chorus]

'Fraid they'd take it away from you

Why would they take it away from you?

[Chorus]

For without it, where would you be?

At the stop 'n' shop at Avenue B, that's where you'd be

[Refrain]

Objects may appear to be more than they appear to be

More than this reality a binding agent for the majority

More than what they are

It's what you think you are

Woah, you hear that dissonance now (Dissonance)

Yeah, the sound of sweet romance now (Sweet romance)

Mmm, it's an awkward dance (Awkward dance)

Mmm, the sound of sweet, sweet romance

The sound of sweet—

Mild sounds of sweet, sweet romancing

[Outro]

Oh, the sound of sweet romance
