During a City

I try

Not to let it get above me

Don't make me, don't hurt me, don't push me, don't confront me

I try to separate real from unreal

Don't make me have to open my eyes

Don't make me have to feel

Crime likes burning like a heylow

Sidewalk under me feet

Passing trees below

I keep walking, with nothing in my head

Where am I going?, where am I going?, where am I going?, where am I going?

Some nights I walk mile after mile, after mile

I need you, I need you, I want to smile, at your smile

Are you out there somewhere? waiting? looking for me?

I am falling fast, falling, falling broken

Reach out and catch me

And the city is in my blood like a curse

And the people and the noise, only make it worse

And I can't tell you why there's no place I'd rather be

Where am I going?, where am I going?, where am I going?, where am I going?

And the city drops on my head

When the city drops on my head

When the city drops on my head

Dirty gray dropping rain down in my dreams

No one knows me, no one knows me, no one knows me, no one knows me

So when you see me, just walk on by

I'm caving in and I don't know why

There's got to be more than this

But I just can't find it

I'm wondering in a city, unknown to myself

A stranger to everyone I meet

I'm wasted on insomnia, paranoid to the hilt

Where am I going?, where am I going?, where am I going?, where am I going?,

When the city drops on my head

And the city drops on my head

And the city drops on my head

Where am I going?
