He who's alive is alone
And as sure as he'll die let it be known
The surest of stumbling stones
Are those we've rolled miles on our own
The best way anywhere's a straight line
Eyes fixed forward affords you no time
To fall into snares they'll design
Today I opened my eyes to the sunrise
And I told myself well this one will surely be my last
Guarantee I'm gonna live it like I'm alive
Gonna live it like I'm alive
So when dusk falls and I do survive
I can sleep
I dreamed of a freeway last night
Cardboard trees and stale yellow lights
But surely the strangest of sights
People in lines ten thousand wide
All with their hands on their eyes
I stood there for a while and I watched them
And I saw myself in every face that passed me by
Guarantee I'm gonna live it like I'm alive
Gonna live it like I'm alive
So when dusk falls and I do survive
I can sleep
They were all lonely people
They were never alone
Lined up like dinosaurs
Doomed to be bones
And the first was the last one
In fancier clothes
