pretty pretty sky, empty buildings sigh
we left the broken syntax back at home
El Paso boy and I leave space between the lines
knowing fully well he'll soon be gone
Whatcha gonna do about it, whatcha gonna say
When they show up at your house and take your job away?
You saw it coming so you took your ass and hid
They all know who you are, they all know what you did
curled up on the floor, my Pavement man is tortured
communication skills have left him, lost
El Paso boy came back and took his keyboard rack
for out the house the furniture is tossed
Whatcha gonna do about it, whatcha gonna say
When they drive up in their cars and take your man away?
You saw it coming but you didn't know what to do
Now they will lock him up in a place where he'll be safe
