lyrics

There's a buzzing in my head
No beginning and no end
In sight or sound in mind
And the trail lights come and go
In a never ending flow
Of white, red, white sodium glows

This world will repeat forever
No change, always the same
Always staying the same

And high above the town
From my window looking down
I catch the drift of life
All the people seem so small
In the ambivalence of it all
Up there the satellites

Look down on us all forever
They see deep into me
Deep inside me

In my padded cell
I'm as safe as a dream

But just outside my door
The world is still at war
I hear them crack and scream

Seems like I'll be here forever
This fear keeping me here
Keeping me right here

In my padded cell
I'm as safe as a dream

Outside walls of neon keep on spelling out our need
You can have it all I never want to leave

My padded cell
It's as safe as a dream
Keeps me from the world
And keeps it from me
