Someone saw me
For a second, noticed me
She sighed softly
And then turned her eyes
To the cellphone that she lives in
I just stood there
Let my headphones talk to me
Phrases passing, words that wash all over me
Though I couldn't listen
Someone said
"Your head is in the cloud
Your wallet's on the ground
Take a look around you!"
One stop later I'm alone
Sitting in a cubicle
Selling something useless
Asking if you could fit me in your schedule
Monday night I'll text you
Someone said
"Your head is in the sand
Your wallet's on the cloud
If you let me put my two cents in
You'll come around!"
To turning into silicon
Counting 1s and 0s
Waiting for the coming singularity
Everyone's a hero
Someone said
"I really like the sound
Been wanting to reach out
Should we get a coffee?"
Three strikes later here I am
Meanwhile, somewhere someone writes a policy
No one reads it, still they tell you how to feel about it
Have you seen the movie where the hero is
Risking nothing, chewing on his cuticle
Waiting for the ending
Waiting for the ending
Waiting for the ending
