The Downtown Fiction - Is Anybody Out There? lyrics

rate me

Stand in line like military time<br />

Flowers blooming up from dirt<br />

Wear the ties and complicated lines<br />

There's wrinkles on a fresh-pressed shirt<br />

<br />

He stands alone, conforming on his own<br />

He's thinking but he does not speak<br />

He tries to fight the edges on his mind<br />

But she is what he truly seeks, but she is what he truly seeks<br />

<br />

Hey, is anybody out there?<br />

I'm reaching out<br />

Hey, is anybody out there?<br />

I'm coming down<br />

Hey, is anybody out there?<br />

I'm freaking out, I'm freaking out<br />

<br />

The heat does rise, preform in double time<br />

The sweat is falling from his brow<br />

He's near his prize, but she begins to fly<br />

He knows that he must act, the time is now<br />

<br />

A dance they play, an ancient lover's game<br />

Averts his eyes and chooses not to stare<br />

The trick, he sees, is aiming not to please<br />

Pretending that he doesn't really care<br />

If you want her, then pretend that you don't care<br />

<br />

Hey, is anybody out there?<br />

I'm reaching out<br />

Hey, is anybody out there?<br />

I'm coming down<br />

Hey, is anybody out there?<br />

I'm freaking out, I'm freaking out.<br />

<br />

We're trapped inside this star<br />

And we have gone too far<br />

All we want is to escape, escape, escape<br />

<br />

Hey, is there anybody out there?<br />

So shout it out<br />

<br />

Hey, is anybody out there?<br />

I'm reaching out<br />

Hey, is anybody out there?<br />

I'm coming down<br />

Hey, is anybody out there?<br />

I'm freaking out, I'm freaking out<br />

<br />
