I climbed to the top of this mountain with no fear of tumbling down. For one brief moment in time I freed my mind of this town. Got clear sight of lights on the hills just outside the city´s grip and just like that I let the moment sleep.

[Chourus]Every face seems familiar on these crowded streets,
Sidewalks sway to the beat of my stammering feet,
Lost in a world of handshakes and receipts,
I hear a song it´s calling out to me.

The people are aligned on the road like candle pins.
Wobbling above gutters humming old retired hymns.
Can´t you see it´s all a cavalcade of delusion stares and
just like that we are prone to disappear.

[Chorus]

Whats the price that you pay for living everyday like a number on a docket, a dollar to be saved? Whats the price you pay when you give yourself away with swollen fists in your pocket, from the workhouse to your grave?

Let´s pray we don´t end up this way
