No Connection

Hello there, how ya been?
Surprised to see you again
But I can't remember your name
You're looking good these days
Glad that you made your way
You can see, I'm still the same

When you're trapped in a thoughtless trance
Raging at half a chance
Just wasting everyone's time
Could you please turn the volume down
Stay on your side of town
You wouldn't make it on mine

When you're out on your own
Destination unknown
They can't find you by phone
No connection
Alone

What's that you're saying now
Holding your sacred cow
Do you use your brain when you pause?
Or are you just drawing breath
Riding some ego crest
That you mistake for a cause?

Can't say I told you so
But everything that you know
Was stolen from somebody else
God forbid you get caught
Having a single thought
Pretending it comes from yourself

You're drifting along
In your storybook life
With 1.5 children
And a TV show wife
You look at this plastic
And think Aw Christ
I gotta get out
But I can't pay the price

And the rocks that you've thrown
Have become your new home
But you've run out of stones
You're hemmed in on your own
They can't find you by phone
Destination unknown
And you're out on your own
No connection
Alone

Did your eyes look far away
When you saw what I had to say
About how else I spend my time
Who's crazy, who is sane
When only dust remains
Why bother to search for a sign

I know it's getting late
But I can't get out the gate
That keeps me locked in with these lies
So goodbye, see you again
Even though it's wearing thin
Everyone needs their disguise

When I'm out on my own
Destination unknown
They can't find me by phone
No connection
Alone
