is anybody out there?

stand in line like military time

flowers blooming up from dirt

wear the ties and complicated lines

there's wrinkles on a fresh-pressed shirt

he stands alone

conforming on his own

he's thinking but he does not speak

he tries to fight the edges on his mind

but she is what he truly seeks

but she is what he truly seeks

hey

is anybody out there?

i'm reaching out

hey

is anybody out there?

i'm coming down

hey

is anybody out there?

i'm freaking out

i'm freaking out

the heat does rise

perform in double time

the sweat is falling from his brow

he's near his prize

but she begins to fly

he knows that he must act

the time is now

a dance they play

an ancient lover's game

averts his eyes and chooses not to stare

the trick

he sees

is aiming not to please

pretending that he doesn't really care

if you want her

then pretend that you don't care

hey

is anybody out there?

i'm reaching out

hey

is anybody out there?

i'm coming down

hey

is anybody out there?

i'm freaking out

i'm freaking out. we're trapped inside this star

and we have gone too far

all we want is to escape

escape

escape

hey

is there anybody out there?

so shout it out

hey

is anybody out there?

i'm reaching out

hey

is anybody out there?

i'm coming down

hey

is anybody out there?

i'm freaking out

i'm freaking out
