Shine Lyrics

We live around the hydro towers,
Listening to them singing in the park.
Wind our clock too tight,
And all the radios are glowing in the dark.
Mothers lie down in the day time,
And dream about Hollywood.
I know that they'd get there if they could.

Chorus:
It's just a matter of time,
Before we get to shine
It's not a question of when,
Or who does the crime.

We show our skin through picture windows,
Sit around cross legged on the floor
Our living rooms electric,
TVs, light bulbs, irons, cancer to the core.

Out in our back yards waiting,
For women in flying saucers.
Under the stars and power lines.
Chorus:
It's just a matter of time,
Before we get to shine.
It's not a question of when,
Or who does the crime, Yea.
It's just a matter of time,
Before we get to shine.
Before we get to shine.
Shine.

The fans and the air conditioners,
Runnin' in movie houses,
Our mother's not coming home again. Home again
Chorus:
It's just a matter of time,
Before we get to shine.
It's not a question of when,
Or who does the crime. Yea
It's just a matter of time,
Before we get to shine.
It's not a question of when,
Or who does the crime.
It's just a matter of time,
Till we get to shine.
It's just a matter of time,
Before we get to shine. Yea
