Intro:
N.C.
There was a time
N.C.
When all the doors closed
N.C.
Boarded up the storefronts
N.C.
Sent everyone home
N.C.
No one was driving
N.C.
The air was all clean
N.C.
Just one of the reasons
N.C.
I was grateful to breathe

What were we doing

Thinking were living

Ran out of lipstick to put on the pig

So don’t rock me back to sleep

When there’s nothing to do

All day to do it

To step outside the door

With phone keys and wallet

And a little unsure
