I don't knowMaria says she's dyingthrough the door I hear her cryingWhy? I don't know[Chorus:]Round here we always stand up straightRound here something radiatesMaria came from Nashville with a suitcase in her handshe said she'd like to meet a boy who looks like Elvisand she walks along the edge of where the ocean meets the landjust like she's walking on a wire in the circusshe parks her car outside of my houseand takes her clothes offsays she's close to understanding Jesusand she knows she's more than just a little misunderstoodshe has trouble acting normal when she's nervous[Chorus:]Round here we're carving out our namesRound here we all look the sameRound here we talk just like lionsBut we sacrifice like lambsRound here she's slipping through my handsSleeping children better run like the windout of the lightning dreamMama's little baby better get herself inout of the lightningShe says, "It's only in my head."She says, "Shh I know it's only in my head."But the girl on car in the parking lotsays, "Man you should try to take a shot.can't you see my walls are crumbling?"Then she looks up at the buildingand says she's thinking of jumpingShe says she's tired of lifeshe must be tired of something[Chorus:]Round here she's always on my mindRound here hey man got lots of timeRound here we're never sent to bed earlyAnd nobody makes us waitRound here we stay up very, very, very, very lateI can't see nothin', nothin', round here.You catch me if I'm falling.You catch me if I'm falling.You catch me cause I'm falling down on youI said, "I'm under the gun..."Round here.Oh, man, I said, "I'm under the gun..."Round here.And I can't see nothin', nothin'.Round here. We don't actually do a ton of research before doing the show: this is new media where feelings rule over fact!And here's the actual music video for "Round Here" again if you missed it in the preview post.  Don't see any small pool like Diana mentioned, but it's the metaphor that counts.If you have feedback for us or want to be on the show, don't forget to email me.  My wife will only be the guest so many times.  While you wait by your phone for my call, remember to subscribe to our RSS feed below.  We'll try to get on iTunes at some point.  One step at a time.
