Strange Utopia Missy Higgins

Street lights cutting circles in the night
And i’m wandering between them with my hooded coat pulled tight
Headphones on, breath like smoke
When everything is sleeping I am woke

Something happens when i’m out here alone
Some little piece of my old self comes home

It’s a strange utopia we have
How did we end up here?
It’s a strange utopia we have
Nobody tells you it’s not how it first appears

Walking over a strange utopia…

City lights illuminate a distant sky
Years ago we would’ve danced beneath them all night
But life arrives like a north wind
Pulling us from the clutches of the children we’d once been

But something happens when i’m out here alone and you’re sleeping
Some little piece of my old self joins me on the road

It’s a strange utopia we have
How did we end up here?
It’s a strange utopia we have
Nobody tells you it’s not how it first appears
