Strange Utopia

Street lights cutting circles in the night

And I'm wandering between them with my hooded coat pulled tight

Headphones on, breath like smoke

When everything is sleeping I am woke

Something happens when I'm out here alone

Some little piece of my old self comes home

It's a strange utopia we have

How did we end up here?

It's a strange utopia we have

Nobody tells you it's not how it first appears

Walking over a strange utopia...

City lights illuminate a distant sky

Years ago we would've danced beneath them all night

But life arrives like a north wind

Pulling us from the clutches of the children we'd once been

But something happens when I'm out here alone and you're sleeping

Some little piece of my old self joins me on the road

It's a strange utopia we have

How did we end up here?

It's a strange utopia we have

Nobody tells you it's not how it first appears

How did we end up here?

It's a strange utopia

Do you see the crack in the veneer?

How did we end up here?

A strange utopia

Nobody tells you it's not how it first appears
