Feel it coming on   As the sun begins its shift   Over the city and all the sad and sleeping factories   I hear every engine   Hear them put together   Just to take apart my quiet, quietness      The old men talk   In every direction   Some one calls in quiet desperation   Just stand in there   When open the door   Say we can’t stay here anymore      It’s another phone call   Another change of address   Another life raft we will have to build for ourselves   There’ll be another nine   There’ll be another nine lives   And all the time in the world to trivialise      Memories lapse   And empires collapse   And we forget together on that      Some new construction came all at once   And slow and certain   Standing on the side I can see no difference   Same colours come and snap together   Looking just a life sized    And life is like one long season   Two worlds on top of each other one doesn’t notice the other   And their faces say   Business as usual   Faster and faster and faster and faster and…      And if we leave    Or if we never leave   They’ll just cover us with new buildings   And if we leave   Or if we never leave   They’ll just cover us with new buildings      Some new construction came all at once   And slow and certain   Standing on the side I can see no difference   Same colours come and snap together   Looking just a life sized   And life is like one long season   Two worlds on top of each other one doesn’t notice the other   And their faces say   Business as usual   Faster and faster and faster and faster and faster    (etc)
