The Chameleons - Script of the Bridge (Remastered)

Up the Down Escalator

I'm gazing up at the faces staring blankly at me
I suppose it's just a sign of the times
They tell me that tomorrow will never arrive
But I've seen it end a million times

I lost my direction while dodging the flak
Give me a hint or something
If I could freeze time at the flick of a switch
I wouldn't hesitate
No
There must be something wrong boys
Yeah, there must be something wrong boys

Obnoxious action, obnoxious results
From teachers who refuse to be taught
Distorted pictures and dizzy dizzy people
Rush by me at the speed of thought

And sit at their tables and throw us the scraps
For Christs' sake leave us something
Now they can erase us at the flick of a switch
How long will it take
Now!
There must be something wrong boys
Yeah, there must be something wrong boys
There must be something wrong boys

They're dragging me down
Eden, there's no Eden, anyway

They sit at their tables and throw us the scraps
For Christs' sake leave us something
Now they can erase you at the flick of a switch
How much longer must we wait
Now
There must be something wrong boys
There must be something wrong boys
There must be something wrong boys

They're dragging me down
They're dragging me down
They're dragging me down
You either swim or you drown
