Lyrics for Spectacle From a Spec on a Bus


Their all beside you
When rushing back and forth and up and down is all you see
From the people on the busy street

They're always doin' something with their mouths
Smile back if they look at you
Conversation is all you need
To see your angle through

There's always someone behind your place
Getting ready to take your face
The progress longs to see
All angles of the thing come true
The spirit doesn't bleed, it rules

Rushing back and forth is all you see
From the people on the busy street

Workin' nine to five
Earnin' do or die
The money's all you need
Racing with the people on the busy street

Gettin' your connections
Ask not who or why
The power's all you feed
Struggle with the people on the busy street

Kids are starvin' for affection
But you wave by by
The ladder's all you lead
Steppin' over people on the busy street

The city's all you breath
No leader of the world can do
The traffix all you heed
With DNA after you

Rushing back and forth is all you see
From the people on the busy street.

I wrote this song when I was about 15 on a bus of course, feeling a little overwhelmed by the big city, trying to find a reason for being in this mad world, feeling oh so insignifacant on a one way trip to what I thought at the time would be nowhere...
