Description
Mark Manila on Gema and the Jones: "The real message I was trying to capture in the song was, that it's easier sometimes to judge people when you don't really know them, and the song just portrays both sides of the story."
Lyrics
Well, The Jones were waiting downstairs for a timer to go off and They’re sitting on their rockers and They’re falling off their clocks And they say the days not spent in “vain” Yes they’re conscious of these things they say But the white wall saves the day Today Yes the white wall saves the day Gema’s waiting outside for a harness to come off and She’s searching hard for nothing and She’ll stay here long enough to say The lessons she learned were “Tired and vague” She’s not conscious of these things they say But the white wall saves the day today Yes the white wall saves the day Gema is Jonesing for a better time Then what they’ve been giving her And what life’s been handing her
