An ill wind comes arising
Across the cities of the plain
There’s no swimming in the heavy water —
No singing in the acid rain
Red alert
Red alert
It’s so hard to stay together
Passing through revolving doors
We need someone to talk to
And someone to sweep the floors —
Incomplete
Incomplete
The world weighs on my shoulders
But what am I to do?
You sometimes drive me crazy —
But I worry about you
I know it makes no difference
To what you’re going through
But I see the tip of the iceberg —
And I worry about you…
Cruising under your radar
Watching from satellites
Take a page from the red book —
Keep them in your sights
