Stone Sour The Frozen Lyrics

The girls on the street all look sad
In this gold encrusted little town
Why is that? Isn't this the town of dreams?
Yeah but it comes with a price
Its a town that never does anything
And yet takes all the credit
A place that promises so much
But never has a thing to say
Or a care in the world
There is no memory here
No dream for itself but the dreams of others
And all over the world you talk about a place
You've only seen in reruns
Immortalized for its vice and deified for its carnage
Theres money in the air there
All you have to do is reach up and grab it

In basements, garages, parking lots,
Empty lots, schoolyards, town-cars,
Back-rooms and more
Diamonds are fashioned from expectations
And fortified on a steady diet
Of simple lives and red carpets
The e__________ zeitgeist in night vision
Culture is a punch line
An emotion is blood in the water
The sharks here play games you can't fathom
But you flock here anyway
On college money and credit cards
Spend a week bullshitting yourself
That it was all true, all of it
Just to watch in horror as it all falls to pieces
Under the gravity of reality

The starry eyes fade as it dawns on you
Nothing is guaranteed
You are apart of the great divide
The chosen... or the frozen
Now your miles away without a net
Your college money is a collage of debt
And your credit cards are all snapped in f___ing half
Time to wander a landscape bereft of mercy
This is now the back-lot of your failed movie
A waking dream rewritten without your permission
The real l___er, the soft focus, the soap opera vision
Is just the hindsight of a world whose been lied to
Of sad serfs and untouchable lords

You took a chance didn't you?
But chance didn't have a part for you this time around
Maybe next life
And you can't even walk home
The girls on the street all look sad
In this cardboard cutout little town
No wonder, thats the only thing here thats real
The gold is for fools and paradise is lost
But the hungry have never bothered with the cost
Day by day they fall away like rose petals
Like ink that won't dry or fade
It just runs wild down cracks and crevasses
Grooves and folds
So I hope someone saves you before you get cold
I really do
Because the girls are all sad in this little black book
If you don't believe me take a closer look
If you can
