The wind keeps beating on my window I haven't slept all night That drum just keeps on banging They must be buzzing out their minds Like bees in a hive Tell me when the morning arrives This place is just not for me I say it all the time My friends they just ignore me Tell me never mind Waiting all your life On a slumville sunrise Slumville sunrise Nobody cares or looks twice Shine away in the morning Across this place where I was born in Every bruise, every flower Illuminated by the dawning My face upon the concrete The dirt is in my mouth I clench my fists and feet I'm trying to cry out loud Make a sound Something is keeping me down This place is just not for me I said a thousand times My friends they just ignore me Tell me never mind Waiting all your life On a slumville sunrise Slumville sunrise Nobody cares or looks twice Shine away in the morning Across this place where I was born in Every bruise, every flower Illuminated by the dawning This place is just not for me I say it all the time My friends they just ignore me Tell me never mind Waiting all your life On a slumville sunrise Slumville sunrise Nobody cares or looks twice Shine away in the morning Across this place where I was born in Every bruise, every flower Illuminated by the dawning Every bruise, every flower Illuminated by the dawning
