lyrics

Started out early to work and late to bed
Draining the blood from both ends
Now I never sleep and I hardly work
I bleed all day but it never hurts
Leveled off on the seventh floor
Cyclic movements back and forth
Muscles stress and bones may break
But all these parts can be replaced
All your promise, all your ardor may carry you today
But you will lose this all so fast, yeah, you would be amazed.
I blink away days at a time
Waking dreams by fluorescent light
Without the daylight on my face
I turn so pale I match this place
Neutral walls and sixty hertz
Matching ties and collared shirts
All our roles are well defined
We all have our place in line
All this noise and all this motion just to keep your place
But you could lose this all so fast, yeah, you would be amazed.
All you are and all you live for, you bury these today
You'll forget yourself so fast, yeah, you would be amazed.
