(Lyrics: Janey Diamond / Music: Gold-Bloss-Lloyd)
|
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
|
|
