Is this a citadel, is this a prison cell?   Who sits at my right hand, who's watching me now?   Who made us live this way, when do i get my say   Automation turns us into human beings now      Tripping over faces, humanity has fallen   Huddled into doorways on the streets at dawn      The power of the sun, keeps us moving on   Spinning ever faster   The city never sleeps, the echoes of the footfalls   Already in the past      Every dawn arrives, the gathering of the tribes   Shattered waves of people breaking over city walls   Never out of touch, but always on your own   Trapped inside the logic of your own communication zone      What deals have been done, who's under the gun   Stay one step ahead of the next in line      The power of the sun, keeps us moving on   Spinning ever faster   The city never sleeps, the echoes of the footfalls   Already in the past      The cameras never lie, the ghost of you and I, already in the past   Inside a picture frame, we'll vanish once again   Now the dawn is coming fast...      The power of the sun, keeps us moving on   Spinning ever faster   The city never sleeps, the echoes of the footfalls   Already in the past
