People everywhere You got to stop and breathe the air Then you might see it But you won't believe it And all your life you've seen the signs And they brought light to our design It's perforated Meant to be upgraded Science dubs more miracles As distance grows from us back to the womb It's stranger to the eyes of a child-man
But these lights don't make a carnival Nah, it's all wrong as Strangers walk on past The light that's last No shadows cast And I'm one of them most of the time No shadows cast No shadows cast It's stranger to the eyes of a child-man
The path is where you stand It's not to be seen, so step ahead Not complicated But the signal's faded People everywhere You grown up breathing stagnant air Now when you see it You got words to explain it
Everything's been stigmatized By those who add their own surprise Makes it stranger to the eyes of a child-man But these lights don't make a carnival Nah, it's all wrong as Strangers walk on past The light that's last No shadows cast And I'm one of them most of the time But range is broad And even still more vast With no live-in past Light built up blast And I've never known a stranger thing (Never seen a stranger thing) It's stranger to the eyes of a child-man (Never known a stranger thing) (Never seen a stranger thing) But these lights don't make a carnival (Never known a stranger thing) Though range is broad (Never seen a stranger thing) And even still more vast (Never known a stranger thing) With no live-in past (Never seen a stranger thing) Light built up past (Never known a stranger thing) And I've never known a stranger thing
