So you hugged the globe Now it´s whirling too fast I really got no hope to hang on to the past The train has departed, the toxins have started To announce that none will last
I cower in the gutter of a world that´s not so near And I listen to their mutters That are spinning through the air The words unspoken, the promises broken And the ones who really care I´m the watcher of the scene I see our shadows on the screen And when the subway brakes To preserve some suicidal bee I stop to breathe for a while Maybe it was me This is the world gliding by Like the driftwood beams On a lifetime´s stream The instant fundamental sky for Pandora´s lullaby I see distorted faces coined like gold And in their wrinkles programs
That commercial gurus told A watermark against a spark Umbrellas that they hold I´m gliding in the distance and watch the world go by An orbit full of questions, a perforated sky But I just sit and wonder a bit That they never wonder why
