We've come together where the buildings rise
We're crawling up where concrete meets the sky 
We walk in line
We've come together in our daily gray 
Where all our private boxes look the same
In every possible way 

We've been running on the asphalt lately 
Killing time is oh so easy 
Tell me, how do we determine left from right? 

I can't explain where the building rocks 
Growing up where the traffic never stops 
Oh the rising stars
Sell our souls when the market's right 
Shake hands as we're pulling down the blinds 
It's almost fine 

We've been running on the asphalt lately 
Killing time is oh so easy 
Tell me, how do we determine left from right? 
We've been missing out on daylight lately 
Killing time, with late night TV 
Tell me, how do we determine gray from white? 

We keep on running but we're losing time 
We spill our coffee where the concrete meets the sky. 
We keep on moving but we're losing ground 
We spend our money as the road keeps winding down 
And down and down and down

We've been running on the asphalt lately 
Killing time is oh so easy
Tell me, how do we determine left from right? 
We've been missing out on daylight lately 
Killing time, with late night TV
Tell me, how do we determine gray from white?
