every night now I dream i'm somewhere else
in another city far away
or another version of the one right here
im not exactly sure
Im staying in hotel rooms in high rise buildings
on the 6th or 14th level
and the elevator is always unsafe
yet I never take the stairs
and im always trying to cross busy intersections
but never crossing at the traffic lights
I see people I know all the time
but they seem so far away and unfamiliar
and i'm always following, never leading
or trying to look for something
deep in an office complex or shopping centre
through tunnels and dark rooms
In a city I thought I knew so well
but everything has been altered and shifted
so now it is completely foreign
people are always so hostile
because I never really know where Im going
I catch trains to no particular location
because I never actually arrive
but I always wake up at the wrong time
just before I actually get there
