Sometimes I just lay back and float away-ay
I spilt a serving, oh where's the Bourbon
Xylophone, kaleidoscope, is so spontaneous
Telling you she's just grey (she's running away)
I live in a house by the roadside
And the cars pass by every day
I get so stir-crazy
And it's so frustrating
What's it about?
Stuck in a landslide, and it's passing you by
So go approach a total stranger
And ask them, "Tell me something interesting"
Bye, bye, bye, bye to this city maze
The sax is in the city
And Vesuvius is waking from its dormant phase
Let loose an eruption
With their suits and cats and moms and cats and frats and rats and suits and ties and stripes and spots
Uh, tell me where you come from
And that man that was fluorescent tried to see you everyday
Holding your lollipop
Tell me all your secrets
And I'm curious in your lives, I'm eavesdropping, fine, I know it's not right
But how can I
The fire engine's screaming, the rest of us are dreaming
The cars their horns are beeping, the city's never sleeping
You stopped me at the red light
You stopped me at the red light
You stole me at the red light
You stole me at the red light
At the red light, you stopped me at the red light
The city's never sleeping
All these people stuck inside their day daze
Uh, tell me what you're thinking
Headlights, no light besides the city haze
The city's exploded, the people have died
I'll fight double glazing on all of your eyes
Now get off your device and concentrate
The car's about to hit you
The fire engine's screaming, the rest of us are dreaming
The cars their horns are beeping, the city's never sleeping
(You stopped me at the red light
You stopped me at the red light)
Fire engines screaming, the rest of us are dreaming
The cars their horns are beeping, the city's never sleeping
