Faster
Feel it comin' on
As the sun begins its shift
Over the city and all the sad and sleeping factories
I hear every engine
Hear them put together
Just to take apart my quiet quietness
The old men talk
In every direction
Someone calls in quiet desperation
Just stand in there
When open the door
Say "we can't stay here anymore"
It's another phone call
Another change of address
Another life-raft we will have to build for ourselves
There'll be another nine
There'll be another nine lives
And all the time in the world to trivialise
Memories lapse
And empires collapse
And we forget together on that
Some new construction came all at once and slow and certain
Standing on the side, I can see no difference
Same colours come and snap together looking just as life-sized
And life is like one long season
Two worlds on top of each other, one doesn't notice the other
And their faces say "business as usual"
Faster and faster and faster and faster and
And if we leave
Or if we never leave
They'll just cover us with new buildings
And if we leave
Or if we never leave
They'll just cover us with new buildings
Some new construction came all at once and slow and certain
Standing on the side, I can see no difference
Same colours come and snap together looking just as life-sized
And life is like one long season
Two worlds on top of each other, one doesn't notice the other
And their faces say "business as usual"
Faster and faster and faster and faster and faster and faster
And faster
As the sun begins its shift
Over the city and all the sad and sleeping factories
I hear every engine
Hear them put together
Just to take apart my quiet quietness
The old men talk
In every direction
Someone calls in quiet desperation
Just stand in there
When open the door
Say "we can't stay here anymore"
It's another phone call
Another change of address
Another life-raft we will have to build for ourselves
There'll be another nine
There'll be another nine lives
And all the time in the world to trivialise
Memories lapse
And empires collapse
And we forget together on that
Some new construction came all at once and slow and certain
Standing on the side, I can see no difference
Same colours come and snap together looking just as life-sized
And life is like one long season
Two worlds on top of each other, one doesn't notice the other
And their faces say "business as usual"
Faster and faster and faster and faster and
And if we leave
Or if we never leave
They'll just cover us with new buildings
And if we leave
Or if we never leave
They'll just cover us with new buildings
Some new construction came all at once and slow and certain
Standing on the side, I can see no difference
Same colours come and snap together looking just as life-sized
And life is like one long season
Two worlds on top of each other, one doesn't notice the other
And their faces say "business as usual"
Faster and faster and faster and faster and faster and faster
And faster
