lyrics

John, I can't commit now
When nothing seems to fit now
It's a ride in the open;
Better shield your eyes from the grit, now

I see you on the street
Can't concede defeat
'Cause I know you're loving
Every single one you meet, yeah

And dancing's not the same
Since the shadow came along
It's black, oh
I'm feeling much too tame, like a smothered flame
That's too dim to rouse us into story or into song

And there's too much to choose
And how much do we lose
Beneath the guide of winners
It's such a sorry ruse

Now we don't talk as much
We've got coloured screens and such
But if you watch I'm begging
For a simple human touch

In a different year
We might not have this fear surround us
And we shake, oh
Things that seemed so dear looked at through a mirror
Might be creations, might not be the things that will astound us

Stay in the line
We got to do this right
Stay in the line,
It's got to come out right

And now we're trapped in the snow
Armed with a broken bow
Or we imagine, thinking we're
The only ones to know

Keep the masses quiet
A medication diet
Oh god, today I'm too disillusioned
To revolt or riot

I know you feel it too
The things that we don't do surprise us
And we're lost, oh
We hid away what's true, shunned what we both knew
We'd better resurrect it before something vital dies in us
