Standard (EADGBE)

I keep going round and round on the same old circuit

A wire travels underground to a vacant lot

 When something I can't see interrupts the current

 And shrinks the picture down to a tiny dot

 And from behind the screen it can look so perfect

 But it's not

 So here I'm sitting in my car at the same old stop light

I keep waiting for a change but I don't know what

 So red turns into green turning into yellow

 But I'm just frozen here in the same old spot

 And all I have to do is to press the pedal

 But I'm not

 But I'm not

People are tricky you can't afford to show

Anything risky anything they don't know

 The moment you try - I'll kiss it goodbye

 So baby kiss me like a drug, like a respirator

and let me fall into the dream of the astronaut

 For I'll get lost in space that goes on forever

 And you'll make all the rest just an afterthought

 And I'll believe it's you who could make it better

 Though it's not

 No it's not

 No it's not
