Running On Ice

There's a lot of tension in this town I know it's building up inside of me

I've got all the symptoms and the side effects of city life anxiety

I could never understand why the urban attitude is so superior

In a world of high rise ambition most people's motives are ulterior

Sometimes I feel as though I'm running on ice

Paying the price too long

Kind of get the feeling that I'm running on ice

Where did my life go wrong

I'm a cosmopolitan sophisticate of culture and intelligence

The culmination of technology and civilized experience

But I'm carrying the weight of all the useless junk a modern man accumulates

I'm a statistic in a system that a civil servant dominates

And all that means is that I'm running on ice

Caught in the vise so strong

I'm slipping and sliding cause I'm running on ice

Where did my life go wrong

You've got to run, run, run

Run, run, run

As fast as I can climb a new disaster every time I turn around

As soon as I get one fire put out there's another building burning down

They say this highway's going my way but I don't know where it's taking me

It's a bad waste, a sad case, a rat race, it's breaking me

And I get no traction cause I'm running on ice

It's taking me twice as long

Get a bad reaction cause I'm running on ice

Where did my life go wrong?

You've got to run, run, run

Run, run, run run run

Running on ice

Running on ice

Running, running on ice

Running on ice

Running on ice

Slipping, sliding, running on ice

Running on ice

Slipping, sliding, running on ice
