We've come together where the buildings rise We're crawling up where the concrete meets the sky We walk in line We've come together in our daily grey Where all our private boxes look the same In every possible way We've been running on the asphalt lately Killing time is oh so easy Tell me, how do we determine left from right? I can't explain where the building rocks Growing up where the traffic never stops Oh the rising stars Sell our souls when the market's right Shake hands as we're pulling down the blinds It's almost fine We've been running on the asphalt lately Killing time is oh so easy Tell me, how do we determine left from right? We've been missing out on daylight lately Killing time with late night TV Tell me, how do we determine grey from white? We keep on running but we're losing time We spill our coffee where the concrete meets the sky We keep on moving but we're losing ground We spend our money as the road keeps winding down And down We've been running on the asphalt lately Killing time is oh so easy Tell me, how do we determine left from right? We've been missing out on daylight lately Killing time with late night TV Tell me, how do we determine grey from white?
