ticking like a time bomb

everybody hears it

sleeping with your clothes on

waiting for the bell

it’s a difficult course

i choose to run

always stopping me short

as the day is

some centrifugal force

that pulls me on

into my dream world

miles away

are you talking to me?

cuz i don’t hear anything

miles away

i’ll be miles away

balanced on a tightwire

watching every step now

near fatal paranoia

scares me half to death

don’t try to talk me down

don’t waste your breath

my dignity is all that i have

when the going gets tough

i can always drift

into my dream world

into my dream world

miles away

are you talking to me?

cuz i don’t hear anything

miles away

i don’t hear anything

miles away

i’ll be miles away

and you could say it’s over

and i would never feel the pain

and no one ever breaks this wall

miles away

are you talking to me?

cuz i don’t hear anything

miles away

so many miles away
