lyrics

Work all day because we all slave away
but in the night settle down
turn the open sign around
lock your eyes on the screen
while your excersize machine
keeps you fit and defined
read a book to feed your mind

Get to bed before the clock strikes ten
Take a pill to pass out
before you start to think about
all the things you've been told
about the hurt that you hold
how it all contradicts and there's no simple fix
anyway, anyway

Walking around the town kicking stones
Don't mind walking around alone
cause I've got characters inside
that I'm creating all the time

Make your way to a nondescript cafe
where in silence you await
the arrival of your date
though you already know
how it's destined to go
and you can't recreate that emotional state

Time goes by maybe hours maybe weeks
and you stay locked away while your body walks and speaks
cause you've memorized the route and you know the words by heart
You fit right in the role
You were born to play the part
anyway, anyway

-chorus-
