Bilingual
I live in a one-room apartment
With windows on one side
I stare through the glass 'cross the water
To where the big, ugly city lies
I hear it, I feel it, I read it, with my eyes
And I'm lost in the crowd of the city
A life I despise
I wake with a groan, it's the phone
What news can it bring (shh), let it ring
The paper lies crumpled on the floor
Politics and war, and there goes the door
And I sit and watch it all go by
Wonder why I can't go
I'm caught in the grip of the city
Madness and smog
ย
Hide my mind
out of the reach of time
I'm movin' far beyond the city and its power, now it's gone
And as my wings ascend
I feel them catch the wind
Da da da da da da da
Da da da da da
Da da da da da
Da da da da da
Above the traffic's holler
I watch the race for dollars
The angry-sweated collars
As people waste their hours
Then, there came a time when
I knew it all was ending
I felt my wings descend
If only I could stay up another day
I live in a one-room apartment
With windows on one side
I stare through the glass 'cross the water
To where the big, ugly city dies
