I'm running in the parking lot, I'm four years old
I am lost, those were the days.
The 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
Watchin 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 we wait, how long must this take
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 out of here"
Was in trouble there
I want to know, what are you thinking... 'Cause I think I think it too
Sliding across the Indian wilderness like the wind gliding down soft roads.
6am now you're in Hollywood
You're dancing - we made it.
We are turning with the earth so fast but it feels a lot slower
...And it's not gonna take all day long
Watchin 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...
Your Achilles heel is you like to feel your fingers on the wheel.
Some live in a palace, some live in the sewer.
The director, the actor, the crew and the viewer
Boys got their toys and girls got their dolls
And nothing much else changes through the final stages.
How you're spending the day is the same as your life.
And you're watching the time running away
Wait up, wait up
Wake up, wake up...
WAKE UP.
