lyrics

Here I am
Inevitably in the city of man
Here the writing is on the wall
Between you and me there is nothing at all

It’s a world of flashing signs
It’s a world of speed

Ooh wee turn out the lights
I’ve been awake too long
But I’ll be alright
If I can get to sleep tonight

Here nothing is ever fixed
Here you live just to exist
Here beauty is deformed
There by a perfect world of forms
Here everything just grows to rot
Here you’ll inherit what your parents should never have been taught
Here you see how bad it gets
Here the worst hasn’t even happened yet

It’s a world of high ideals
It’s a world of changing facts

Ooh wee turn out the lights
I’ve been in here too long
It ain’t right
I’ll try to get some sleep tonight

Here I am
Inevitably in the city of man
Here if you’re lucky you can catch a glimpse
Over the wall at something better than this

I found you in this big old world
It’s not so big at all

Ooh wee turn out the lights
High up in the sky
A satellite
Sails into the night

The simpler the better. ... more
