Wakes up forgotten, makes up his mind

Sets out to question if he's one of a kind

On and on, want to feel somehow

Somewhere in time

You'll see it all the way that I do now



Gives in to impulse, reaches in between

Gets back a notion, still remembers a dream

Gone again and I don't know how

Some other time

You're going to look like I do now



Sprawls across the walkways, recalls another place

Finds the faces hidden, no names upon a stone

Raises up a fever, he rails against the skies

Careless what he wishes for

And what he's always known

On and on, want to feel somehow

Somewhere in time

You'll see it all the way that I do now



In and out of daylight, hung on for dearest life

Stumbles on misguided, is rousing from a sleep

On the street civilians display a common band

Roaring like a cry from Heaven seven thunders deep

Gone again and I don't know how

Some other time

You're going to look like I do now



So many held in firm array, each one anonymously files

In every kind of every way and every mother's only child

And all the time identified, it's hard to take it in at all

There must be many more besides

Those to watch us while we're sleeping



So many here, so many held

Aligned and catalogues for good

And punching in and punching out

The empty voices keep repeating

"I don't live on the outside

I'm provided for in here now

Love us where we stand, lead us through this land

We all know the score, that's what living's for"
