Lyrics

Running in the parking lot, I'm four years old I am lost, those were the days Soft murmur of voices in the other room Comforting you, as you fall asleep Staring at the mother-daughter clones go by We're in a race against time And time might be winning And it's not gonna take all day long Watching the urban decay all around us, oh boy And I'm on my way, oh, somewhere Feels like I'm going left and right in the dark How long must you wait? How long must this stay? Wake up, Wake up Wake up, Wake up Wake up, Wake up Wake up, Wake up I'm ashamed, I think maybe sometimes I might have used tricks to make you like me more When I found you, I was running wild Let's get outta here, was in trouble there I wanna know what are you thinking 'Cause I think, I think it too Sliding across the Indian wilderness Like the wind, gliding down soft roads 6 am, and you're in Hollywood And you're dancing, we made it We are turning with the Earth so fast That it feels a lot slower And it's not gonna take all day long Watching the urban decay all around us, oh boy And I'm on my way, oh, somewhere Feels like I'm going left and right in the dark How long will it take? To fix what they break? Wake up, Wake up Wake up, Wake up Wake up, Wake up Wake up, Wake up Your Achilles heel is you like to feel Your fingers on the wheel Some live in the palace, some live in the sewers The director, the actor, the crew and the viewers Boys get their toys and girls get their dolls and Nothing much else changes through the final stages Are you spending the days the same As your life and you're watching the time running away Wait up, Wake up Wait up, Wait up Wait up, Wait up Wait up, Wait up
