Human Racing Lyrics
Romeo, where'd you go?
It's been years and still no sign
But I'm keeping hope alive
Juliet, how you been?
You look like death like you sure could use some rest
from this place human racing and the faces of people who pound at your door
They always want more they want more
Hummingbird, what's the word?
Are you still your mothers child
or have you found yourself a flower?
Flowerchild, you're still wild
Under a harvest moon can we eat of all the fruits of our youth?
Tell the truth now
Your heart is a strange little orange to peel
What's the deal?
What's the deal?
Mary, dear, how you feel?
Are you lost without your lamb?
You know I think I understand
Little lamb, what's your plan?
Greener pastures in the sky?
it's a shame you want to die know why
Just to find you've been blinded to the greenest of pastures they're right here on Earth
For what it's worth you're not the first to break my heart
It's been years and still no sign
But I'm keeping hope alive
You look like death like you sure could use some rest
from this place human racing and the faces of people who pound at your door
Are you still your mothers child
or have you found yourself a flower?
Under a harvest moon can we eat of all the fruits of our youth?
Your heart is a strange little orange to peel
What's the deal?
What's the deal?
Are you lost without your lamb?
You know I think I understand
Greener pastures in the sky?
it's a shame you want to die know why
For what it's worth you're not the first to break my heart

I love the last two stanzas reminds me of Wallace Stevens poem Sunday Morning http://www.cscs.umich.edu/~crshalizi/Poetry/Stevens/sunday_morning.html
My favorite poem ever check it out.
But the last line is awesome something Sunday morning doesn't have, it expresses the anger and disappointment felt by someone who loses faith in God but doesn't necessarily want to. That or it can also signify the feelings felt by the people who love those who dedicate themselves to God.
The song seems to be about the general fast paced lifestyle most people lead these days. It feels like a longing to connect with other people, while other people seem wrapped up in whatever trivial day to day things that prevent them from stopping to enjoy the small things in life.
