Apartments

In the apartments nothing’s going on
In the apartments everyone just tries to get along
When the sun is up, everybody’s gone
But tonight don’t come home
Keep the television on
The apartments will be up in flames
A tragic day
The apartments are burning down

All the books you say you’d read burnt up in the dirt
The clock ticks won’t stop until the clock is burnt
While all the blood-shot tenants wait
For their six eleven trains
The apartments will be up in flames
A tragic day
The apartments are burning down
The apartments are burning down
The apartments are—
