(watching corners and crossings watching all the red lights watching the stress watching beggars and bankers and rushing cars I'm drowning in this mess)
Help me
Rescue me
Save me
Set me free
(watching all the stress)
It is strange - among all people I feel alone
Very strange - despite the sun I'm cold to the bone
If this is progress let me out
Up on the rooftops I feel alive
Lovely detached from the human hive
Up on the rooftops I feel so free
Far from the city that's suffocating me
(watching corners and crossings watching all the red lights watching the stress watching beggars and bankers and rushing cars I'm drowning in this mess)
Is this what we want?
I believe
Beneath the surface we turn to stone
Can't you see?
We meet our neighbors over the phone
I'm awake - watch me
I'll escape - watch me
If this is progress help me to regress
Alone by the ocean I feel alive
Lovely detached from the human hive
Alone by the ocean I feel so free
Far from the city that's suffocating me
You live too shallow act too deep
Fail to sow but proudly reap
...and you still need more
Indians show us where you're from
Stress indicates what we'll all become
In time you'll awake
In time you'll escape
In time you'll awake
You'll see what's at stake
Is this what we want?
...is this what we need?
