Dafremen City lights Pretty lights that flash and fade Into the eager night The blur of the architecture On a city night If the light hits your eyes just right You'd swear your life Flashed before your eyes This can't be right Just now My head is clearer than its ever been And I see me in the same damned place Night time sets my mind to wandering And I see me in the same damned place You..you're going home Moving up moving on, you're gone And I'm the one whose gonna take you Though you must agree That the irony of the situation Does beg the question: Who'll be taking me? I'm the operator Watching Waiting for my bus Another dull day's wait ahead of me Constantly It never comes "I'm the operator If you'd like to catch the bus Just pay your fare and take a seat Won't you please? I'm in a rush." Said the operator. And I'm the operator Pretty city lights Pity lights that tend to light up the night Light the way to the darker things in life When the bills are there But the rent is paid sooner than its ever been All the dreams that we had back then But lost along the way remain With a stain that runs through my veins To numb the pain It's gone Then I see me in the same damned place Each nameless face Precedes another one And I see me in the same damned place You'll be going home Moving up moving on, you're gone You're on a bonafide mission Chase the circles up and under But I wonder could you tell me When the circles are done? I'm the operator Wasting Waiting for my ride Seen a lot of poor souls Step alone from the cold To where its warm inside I'm the operator Searching Watching for the one Bus stop waiting Tracing circles til it never comes It never comes. 030621 ...
