Central Standard Time - AM Taxi

Between the alley and the one-way sign

We disappear when the sirens chime

All the infidels stand in line

There’s a burnt out car that used to be mine

Come together when things get dark

Between the shadows and the getaway cars

in the thunderstorms

The sinners and saints of the Center Street park

I don’t sleep at night anymore

Unless the furniture blocks all the doors

Outside they’re singing

I hear it ring through the cracks in the walls and the floors

Central standard, standing still

Has anyone got the time?

If you don’t know by now, you never will

I hear the truth between the lines

I wish I could’ve got to you somehow

I wish you were the last thing on my mind

Left her on a broken carousel on central standard time

We come together when the pieces fit

I’m choking on every word I spit

Any chance to leave or split

I don’t want to be left with any of it

I don’t sleep at night anymore

I know we talked about it before

Give me the patience while I tip this waitress

To sweep me up off the floor

Central standard, standing still

Has anyone got the time?

If you don’t know by now, you never will

I hear the truth between the lines

I wish I could’ve got to you somehow

I wish you were the last thing on my mind

Came in on a broken carousel on central standard time

I don’t sleep at night anymore

I know we talked about this before

Give me the patience while I tip the waitress

To sweep me up off the floor

Central standard, standing still

Has anyone got the time?

If you don’t know by now, you never will

I hear the truth between the lines

I wish I could’ve got to you somehow

I wish you were the last thing on my mind

I came in on a busted carousel on central standard time

Central standard, standing still

If you don’t know by now, you never will

I wish I could’ve got to you somehow

I wish you were the last thing on my mind

I blame it on a broken carousel in central standard time
