I keep going round and round on the same old circuit
   a wire travels underground to a vacant lot
   ... something I can't see interrupts the current
   and shrinks the picture down to a tiny dot
   and from behind the screen it can look so perfect
   but it's not
  
   so here I'm sitting in my car at the same old stop light
   I keep waiting for a change but I don't know what
   so red turns into green turning into yellow
   but I'm just frozen here in the same old spot
   and all I have to do is to press the pedal
   but I'm not
  
   People are tricky you can't afford to show
   anything risky anything they don't know
   the moment you try - ... kiss it goodbye
  
   so baby kiss me like a drug, like a respirator
   and let me fall into the dream of the astronaut
   for I'll get lost in space that goes on forever
   and you ... just an afterthought
   and I'll believe it's you could make it better
   though it's not
   no it's not
   no it's not...
