Oh I'm walking faster, faster and
faster to nowhere
Oh I'm running slower, slower and
slower to somewhere
'Cause the city, is closing tighter,
tighter and tighter around me

It's a nightmare, daymare, it's a
badmare no matter which way mare.
People pushing, hustling, rushing on
into the future
Windows open, closing in a way that
they just never use to

Oh there's violence lurking in
the alleys where no one should dare go
So keep walking faster, faster and
faster to nowhere

Children crying, screaming, but no
one lets on that they hear them

It's getting louder, louder, surely
then someone must hear them

'Cause the city is closing tighter,
tighter and tighter around me

It's a nightmare, daymare, it's a
badmare no matter which way mare
