Lyrics 
 
At the centre of the earth 
in the parking lot  
of the 7-11  
where I saw taught 
The motto was just a lie 
It says 'home is where your heart is' 
but what a shame 
'cause everyone's heart doesn't beat the same 
We're beating out of time 
City of the dead 
at the end of another lost highway 
signs misleading to nowhere 
City of the damned 
lost children with dirty faces today 
no one really seems to care 
I read the graffiti  
in the bathroomstall 
like the holy scriptures  
in a shopping mall 
And so it seemed to confess 
It didn't say much  
but it only confirmed that 
the centre of the earth 
is the end of the world 
And I could care less  
===============================================================================
