lyrics

Dive in the craze, be part of the scene
Spring about, free from enclosure
Down the runway slide
In the zone, a parasite
Million miles away from home
But the world has got you
Ride the city at dawn, watch it swallow you whole
There’s nothing that you need to undergo
You’ve thrown all sense right out the door

Take a look, you’re your own imposter
Stuck inside, one-room hospital
Genuine beauty has been slaughtered
You sure know how to make it count
Won’t take much to figure out
You’ve become so unmerciful
Settle in, misuse the clout
Every move so mechanical

Got this far, making the headroom
Rising star, greeting with headlights
You won’t survive at all at this rate now

All you need to believe is every step has simple order
Live these very short times
One more clone, a socialite
Masking of your overtone, they’re mad about you
Enjoy the encounter when they beg and you cower
Tell me what it is that I don’t know
Side of this fence, you’ve been before
