When the cars don't seem to stop
Just lights cutting darkness open
Hypnotised by the pulse
Of the wipers on the windows
And like tears the rain runs off
There's a silence in amongst the roar
The noise of so many becomes
A comforting cloak
Like a slowed-down explosion
The turbulence of the modern world
And you walk
Yeah you walk
Through the world
A simulation
The city breathes in lullabies
But I don't sleep until midnight
Won't you call by?
Run by machines - we're still alive
Not for keeps just a lifetime
Won't you call by?
It's a fight for habitual space
Makes for lines
So much easier to trace
Back the meaningless route
On the regular
Followed like
It's leading us to something new
It's the weather that connects the two
The conversation that we can all do
It's a circumstance founded
On greed and exclusion
And we race towards the final clue
And you walk
Yeah you walk
Through the world
A simulation
The city breathes in lullabies
But I don't sleep until midnight
Won't you call by?
Run by machines - we're still alive
Not for keeps just a lifetime
Won't you call by?
The city breathes in lullabies
But I don't sleep until midnight
Won't you call by?
Run by machines - we're still alive
Not for keeps just a lifetime
Won't you call by?
