Lyrics

Two steps back and look again
A silent message from a friend
It's calling me to reconviene
All of the senses still unseen

We come together without light
Throw ourselves into the night
Where one is odd and two's insane
I've come to turn you on again

Keep away from the negative void decay
Where the freaks are employed a.m.
Drivin' alone, always submerged
In the Pedestrian Zone

No more distractions for today
The work ain't hard but where's the pay
Friends are strangers, strangers friends
This alienation never ends

As they play
Back the questions to you each day
You keep wondering who you are
A part of the game
A radiant star, forgotten again

But all of the people that care
I can't even tell if they're there
It's harder to see

It's all so useless and inane
Except for love I can't explain
You look to me for what to do
You gotta see it's killing you

Go alone, it's the only way out
The Zone will lead you to doubt your worth
As measured in time
We come to this earth
As peasants in crime
