Sleep Street
Only yesterday you said you'd start a new crusade
Better move on those visions before they start to fade
The need for release has increased
Become a stormy affair and everyone around you doesn't care
You've been shot down
I really know what that's like
Best friends been going on a fun strike
So filled with pessimism, pacifism it's a prison
Living on sleep street
Lazy and passive got married
Why walk when you could be carried?
Hitchhike through life just wondering why you go slow
Personal death row
They don't know which way to go
Sucked in to the maelstrom of everyday
Of everyday
I know a way to bring you back to life
Held back by restrictions
Well not, my friend, tonight (no not tonight)
Where they're sheltered, they'll be shattered
Walking out all bruised and battered
I know a way, let's implement it today (hey, hey, hey)
Cavalier in the eyes of a rat-pack
Twenty years they'll be crying for their youth back
Forfeiting ambition to the competition
Living on sleep street
Do they really, really wanna join the rat race?
If I was you I'd tell them it's the last place
You're going and they ought to be knowing it's the last place
They wanna be too
They don't know which way to go
Sucked in to the maelstrom of everyday
Of everyday
I know a way to bring you back to life
Held back by restrictions
Well not, my friend, tonight (no not tonight)
Where they're sheltered, they'll be shattered
Walking out all bruised and battered
I know a way, let's implement it today (hey, hey, hey)
It didn't take that long
It didn't take that long to find
Become one with one's mind
You shouldn't pay the price
You shouldn't put a price on time
What it takes, what it takes, it's what it takes
To have to make a choice and then you hear that voice sing
Carry on, carry on, carry on
You have to wake that voice
You have to hear your voice sing
Carry on, carry on, carry on
Better move on those visions before they start to fade
The need for release has increased
Become a stormy affair and everyone around you doesn't care
You've been shot down
I really know what that's like
Best friends been going on a fun strike
So filled with pessimism, pacifism it's a prison
Living on sleep street
Lazy and passive got married
Why walk when you could be carried?
Hitchhike through life just wondering why you go slow
Personal death row
They don't know which way to go
Sucked in to the maelstrom of everyday
Of everyday
I know a way to bring you back to life
Held back by restrictions
Well not, my friend, tonight (no not tonight)
Where they're sheltered, they'll be shattered
Walking out all bruised and battered
I know a way, let's implement it today (hey, hey, hey)
Cavalier in the eyes of a rat-pack
Twenty years they'll be crying for their youth back

To have to make a choice and then you hear that voice sing
Carry on, carry on, carry on
You have to wake that voice
You have to hear your voice sing
Carry on, carry on, carry on
