(watching corners and crossing 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? You meet your 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?
