Wake up to the madness of the city Say hello it's a brand new day Brush my teeth read the paper Everything is changing so fast it stays the same Cars attack the city street City sidewalk - city heat People push and people fly No one laughs and no one cries Someone save me. Look up - an office building Stares right back indignantly Look down - my feet keep moving Shuffling to the city's endless beat Billboards tell me what to buy How to dress and how to die Traffic signals starts to change Madness starts all over again Someone save me. Chorus: My doctor says I need a brief vacation Wife says it's just a stageI'll be alright Boss says I've got too much imagination Papers tell me rain again tonight. Wake up to the madness of the city Close my eyes and fly to mars A man jolts my arm I swing out madly He swings back and I see stars I curse my world beneath my breath I curse myself I curse what's left People push - people fly No one laughs - no one cries Someone save me Repeat chorus
