Legacy of Empty Buildings

In my dreams in the emptiest places
Where we walked to forget our culture,
Gas stations appeared at night
So gleaming we can't see the sky
For the fluorescent lights
Shining on our faces
And there was no one there to sell
And there was no one there to buy
And there's no reason except for growth
And a legacy of empty buildings
In my dreams amusement parks
Appeared in my backyard
And they funded an initiative
To preserve the rural way of life
Through fees on parking lots
And there was no one there to sell
And there was no one there to buy
And there's no reason except for growth
And a legacy of empty buildings
But for now there are no businesses for miles
But where the city extends its legs
There's a footprint of what's going to be
And there was no one there to sell
And there was no one there to buy
And there's no reason except for growth
And a legacy of empty buildings
