Sitting in the car
We drive all night and sleep all day
To the border where we will surely stay
Sixteen hours since your certainty fell out of place
And in the meantime you repeat the phrase,
“Fading figures of the twentieth century
echo though my mind”
It doesn’t pay to be afraid
Of what you did yesterday
If you don’t care I’ll never dare to stay
Where do you go?
It’s getting hard for me to tell
Somewhere in between
Slowly crumbling
How would you know?
It’s getting hard for me as well
Somewhere in between
I can see you
Looking outside I see everything’s design
Go into the light and see that everything’s entwined
It’s overheating as your clarity fades to gray
It echoes through my mind and in my head it replays
How many times have you caught yourself displaced?
Slipping through the crowd you don’t leave a trace.
Fading figures of the twentieth century
Echo through my mind
It doesn’t pay to be afraid
Of what you did yesterday
If you don’t care I’ll never dare to stay
Where do you go?
It’s getting hard for me to tell
Somewhere in between
Slowly crumbling
How would you know?
It’s getting hard for me as well
Somewhere in between
I can see you
Looking outside I see everything’s design
Go into the light and see that everything’s entwined
It’s time for me to know
If you’re somewhere I can’t go
Because I don’t have the time
To keep you on the line
