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
