Society Trance (Album Version) - Ric Ocasek |
| [00:11.12] |
I was walking by the ocean's lash |
| [00:14.34] |
And it was like motion from |
| [00:15.41] |
The stars and light had gone |
| [00:21.93] |
Alien symbols and catfish cracking |
| [00:30.96] |
Lovers and outsiders divorced |
| [00:33.20] |
From the uncaring world |
| [00:34.33] |
Are sometimes viewed as heroes |
| [00:37.97] |
Or some antiheroes |
| [00:42.20] |
Absorbed or tormented by loneliness |
| [00:44.82] |
And the inability to communicate |
| [00:49.15] |
Decomposed by the system |
| [00:50.39] |
With no power to change it |
| [01:01.08] |
Trying to get upstairs |
| [01:02.73] |
The nightmare's humming |
| [01:07.75] |
And bloody nosed bums |
| [01:09.49] |
On puke stained pavements |
| [01:11.22] |
Cough up chyme snot and liquid s**t |
| [01:15.32] |
On their pants and under their fingernails |
| [01:18.34] |
Imagined maniacs with blistering lips |
| [01:22.76] |
Scream into cement building doorways |
| [01:32.50] |
Just watching the society trance |
| [01:37.61] |
Just watching the society bash |
| [01:42.52] |
Just watching the society crash |
| [01:50.75] |
Lightning fools the night |
| [01:52.75] |
The irredeemable night birds fly |
| [01:58.29] |
But still by windows some are running |
| [02:03.53] |
While transatlantic doll boys sleep |
| [02:09.95] |
Shadows drip circle swim mystery riddles |
| [02:15.36] |
Freedom is no direction |
| [02:19.33] |
Cause the heart of the matter |
| [02:21.28] |
Is all in your head |
| [02:27.54] |
Cause the past and the future |
| [02:28.77] |
Are illusions |
| [02:30.16] |
They exist in the present |
| [02:32.44] |
When you're thinking about them |
| [02:35.48] |
Through teeter rose inseams |
| [02:38.29] |
And wayward grips |
| [02:41.40] |
Like a mosquito's insistence |
| [02:47.34] |
Lightning fools the night |
| [02:57.45] |
You're watching the society trance |
| [03:02.43] |
You're watching the society bash |
| [03:07.29] |
You're watching the society crash |
| [03:17.75] |
Watching the society trance |
| [03:22.75] |
Watching the society bash |
| [03:27.69] |
Watching the society crash |
| [03:47.85] |
You won't be understood |
| [03:50.45] |
But always nearly praised or blamed |
