Shine a Light

I keep my head uptight, I make my plans at night And I don't sleep, I don't sleep, I don't sleep 'til it's light Some folks float, some are buried alive There is an awful sound, this haunted town And it will not, it will not, it will not just be quiet Some ghosts sink, some will get called to the light I spend boring hours in the office tower In a bus, on a bus back home to you And that's fine, I'm barely alive It's just a matter of time, no one gets out alive And I'm content, I'm content, I'm content to be quiet Some will sink, some will get called to the light You know our hearts beat time out very slowly You know our hearts beat time They're waiting for something that'll never arrive You know our hearts beat time out very slowly You know our hearts beat time They're waiting for something that'll never arrive I keep my head uptight, I make my plans at night And I don't sleep, I don't sleep, I don't sleep 'til it's light Some folks float, some are buried alive With our little boots, we built another world Where we're chain, chain, chain, chain, chained to the light That's fine, our blood is alive You know our hearts beat time out very slowly You know our hearts beat time They're waiting for something that'll never arrive
