| [00:22.75] |
I climbed to the top of this mountain |
| [00:27.20] |
with no fear of tumbling down. |
| [00:31.69] |
For one brief moment in time |
| [00:35.66] |
I freed my mind of this town. |
| [00:39.13] |
Got clear sight of lights on the hills |
| [00:44.42] |
just outside the city's grip |
| [00:48.94] |
and just like that, just like that |
| [00:53.28] |
I let the moment sleep. |
| [00:57.45] |
Every face seems familiar on these crowded streets, |
| [01:01.99] |
Sidewalks sway to the beat of my stammering feet, |
| [01:06.97] |
Lost in a world of handshakes and receipts, |
| [01:11.46] |
I hear a song it's calling out to me. |
| [01:34.40] |
The people are aligned on the road like candle pins. |
| [01:44.80] |
Wobbling above gutters humming old retired hymns. |
| [01:52.39] |
Can't you see it's all a cavalcade of delusion stares |
| [02:00.12] |
and just like that, just like that we are prone to disappear. |
| [02:10.22] |
Every face seems familiar on these crowded streets, |
| [02:14.42] |
Sidewalks sway to the beat of my stammering feet, |
| [02:19.28] |
Lost in a world of handshakes and receipts, |
| [02:24.60] |
I hear a song it's calling out to me. |
| [02:33.13] |
What's the price that you pay |
| [02:38.65] |
for living everyday |
| [02:43.51] |
like a number on a docket, |
| [02:48.36] |
a dollar to be saved? |
| [02:52.37] |
What's the price you pay |
| [02:56.97] |
when you give yourself away |
| [03:01.39] |
with swollen fists in your pocket, |
| [03:05.38] |
from the workhouse to your grave? |
| [03:13.00] |
Let's pray we don't end up this way. |
