| The call of the wild | |
| Brings me to my window-sill | |
| Eyes to the dawn | |
| A tug on a heartstring | |
| By suft unknown fingers | |
| Leading me on | |
| But there's only a street lamp | |
| Standing guard to my soul in the morning air | |
| A silent companion | |
| Waiting like me for the dawn | |
| Faint stirrings of life | |
| Are heard 'cross the rooftops | |
| Breaking the spell | |
| Echoes of footsteps | |
| That call down the pavement | |
| With stories to tell | |
| And chimney-smoke towers reaching out on the grey | |
| Of the morning light | |
| Passionate fingers, outstretched in welcome | |
| For the dawn | |
| The sound of the city | |
| Thunders around me | |
| Drags me along | |
| The babble of voices | |
| The roar of the traffic | |
| Drown me in their song | |
| I'm only a heartbeat keeping time with a pace | |
| Set by marching feet | |
| A pulse that beats stronger | |
| as the new day unfolds from the dawn | |
| Can you feel it pumping? | |
| Can you feel it flowing round and round? | |
| Can you feel it through your fingertips? | |
| To your head it flows up through the ground | |
| Does it scare you? | |
| When you feel the scenery closing in? | |
| Adrift on the street | |
| I merge with confusion | |
| And I feel complete | |
| Swelling with the human tide | |
| Heart and mind electrified | |
| I'm swaying like the ground beneath my feet | |
| We can stand and watch with pride | |
| Or maybe scorn and cricise | |
| How people seem like rats at running pace | |
| But you and I are runners too | |
| There's nothing more that we can do | |
| But join the rats down at the starting gate | |
| But you and I are runners too | |
| There's nothing more that we can do but run | |
| Run, run, run, run | |
| The final strait lies round the bend, | |
| But I don't want this race to end! |
