No Time to Sleep (A Detour)

Who's gonna sing a song of change
If no-one can imagine life outside the beaten track
And who's gonna stop a running train
If no-one cares to dwell and no-one wants to look back

Somewhere along the line you gave up asking
When it got a little too complex
But if you don't question what has been
Does it mean that you don't care what's coming next

You got no-one to follow
And no-one will follow you
Ain't that a relief
That everything and everyone
Must grow in opposition to resistance
And contradiction
This ain't no time to go to sleep
This ain't no time to go to sleep
So who's gonna sing a song of faith
If no-one prays for anything that can't be bought and sold
And who's gonna tell the story straight
Does anyone believe there's still a story to be told

Somewhere along the line you just stopped walking
When the undercurrent got too strong
But someday a lonely busker will come knocking
With a soft and long-forgotten song

If you got no-one to follow
And no-one will follow you
Ain't that a relief
That everything and everyone
Must grow in opposition to resistance
And contradiction
This ain't no time to go to sleep
This ain't no time to go to sleep
