A self-fulfilling prophecy of endless possibility In rolling reams across the screen In algebra, in algebra
In fences that you cannot climb In sentences that do not rhyme In all that you can ever change The one you're looking for
It gets you down It gets you down
There's no spark No light in the dark
It gets you down It gets you down You've traveled far What have you found? That there's no time There's no time To analyse To think things through To make sense
It gets you down It gets you down You're just playing a part You're just playing a part
By candles in the city You never looked so pretty By power cuts and blackouts Sleeping like babies
It gets you down It gets you down You're just playing a part You're just playing a part
You're playing a part Playing part Well there's no time There's no time To analyse analyse analyse
