lyrics

Strangers, crammed inside
Shoulder to shoulder
Frost on the roofs
Colder and colder
People, resemble blocks on the pavement
Silence, surrounds us
So penetrating

I try not to lock myself in small cages
I try to keep flicking through the blank pages
I wonder far beyond places I've been to
And when the books end,
I still keep walking,
I still keep walking, walking, walking

Fast trains, leave behind
Forgotten places
Windows, just tiny holes in dark cases
People sitting still,
All with their heads down
Silence, surrounds all of these dead towns

All of the shopping bags lining the gangways,
Polished tips of shoes reflected by the metal handles,
It's high speed, but stone still,
We're sprinting citybound,
Silence flooding all forgotten old-days-glory towns,
Horizons flattened out,
We're sprinting citybound,
Silence flooding all forgotten old-days-glory towns.

I try not to lock myself in small cages
I try to keep flicking through the blank pages
I wonder far beyond places I've been to
And when the books end,
I still keep walking,
I still keep walking, walking, walking.
