Mall Kid (American Dream)
[Verse 1]
Fluorescent lighting, three stores left
So inviting, climb in bed
Old women walking to past the time
Guess their intentions look a lot like mine
[Chorus]
Purgatory's the place to be
It's got two stories, and a closed Macy's
Former glory's got me on my knees
It's just another mouth to feed
[Verse 2]
Manic dreams in two thousand and eight
Waking nightmare, United States
White picket fences, too big to fail
Guess that will take us straight to hell
[Chorus]
Purgatory's the place to be
It's got two stories, and a closed Macy's
Former glory's got me on my knees
It's just another mouth to feed
[Bridge]
Laying in my bed, in sheets somеbody suffered for
Decaying's for thе best
Pretending's such ghastly chore
I don't quite know why
But the only place I find a little morbid harmony
In the backroom mall security
[Chorus]
Purgatory's the place to be
It's got two stories, and a closed Macy's
Former glory's got me on my knees
It's just another mouth to feed
Fluorescent lighting, three stores left
So inviting, climb in bed
Old women walking to past the time
Guess their intentions look a lot like mine
[Chorus]
Purgatory's the place to be
It's got two stories, and a closed Macy's
Former glory's got me on my knees
It's just another mouth to feed
[Verse 2]
Manic dreams in two thousand and eight
Waking nightmare, United States
White picket fences, too big to fail
Guess that will take us straight to hell
[Chorus]
Purgatory's the place to be
It's got two stories, and a closed Macy's
Former glory's got me on my knees
It's just another mouth to feed
[Bridge]
Laying in my bed, in sheets somеbody suffered for
Decaying's for thе best
Pretending's such ghastly chore
I don't quite know why
But the only place I find a little morbid harmony
In the backroom mall security
[Chorus]
Purgatory's the place to be
It's got two stories, and a closed Macy's
Former glory's got me on my knees
It's just another mouth to feed
