Raleigh Days

There was no writing on the wall
You were offended and appalled
You never saw demise coming
All in a flash you crashed and came
Down now you’re always changing trains
Well on your way
Becoming something else
Raleigh days
At the bar I heard you say
I’m gonna be somebody
Someday, someday, someday
Curled in a corner with your back
Against a wall into the cracks
You’re falling faster now than time itself
Caught all your people on the line
Calling favors to your crime
Well on your way
Yeah, man, you’re something else
Raleigh days
From the fallout shelter stage
Heard you scream you’re gonna be somebody
Someday, someday, someday
There was no writing on the wall
You were offended and appalled
You never saw demise coming
All in a flash you crashed and came
Down now you’re always changing trains
Well on your way
Becoming something else
Raleigh days
At the bar I heard you say
I’m gonna be somebody
Someday, someday, someday
