wake me from my sleep
a cautionary tale
a walk in infancy
a way to derail
i wanted to be free
and i wanted only you
the walls are falling down
and somebody says
give a little love
give a little love
but take your time
and somebody sighs
yes
give a little love
give a little love
but take your time
a private life
c'mon now
i said livin' gets to be
just like a rat race
rat race
c'mon
i'm a-read between the lines
fierce stuggle
a natural one
a tough job gets to be
just like a rat race
rat race
c'mon
i'm locked up in myself
check before rising
check before we work
childproof the scene
no screams can be heard
the roof is caving in
the space between our hearts
the walls are falling down
it's a rat
it's a rat
it's a rat race
it's a rat
it's a rat race
aah life
living in a rat race
c'mon
hmm life
are you living in a rat race?
c'mon
here inside yourself
i'm locked up in myself
