Well why are you always moving so fast
Through every day
Why let anything pass
Anyway
One drunken morning I took a walk
Through the crowded streets
And traded in all of my time for
goodness and beauty
Well, the day was ending so I took a walk
Wheelin` through town, past the trash and the rubble
Put my faith in the poison, tighten the grip
I`ll ride slower than ever, finally free
Well, the empire of night
Has left everyone
And I was there for its arrival
And now it`s gone
Well the world is no more than a beach
Made for two faithful kids
Lying perfectly still
With a burning sky above
Well the sun came out so I let it in
Ran from morning to morning, who knows how much time I’ve spent?
