ROLLINS BAND - DURING A CITY

I try, not to let it get above me, don't make me, don't hurt me,
don't push me, don't confront me.

I try to separate real from unreal, don't make me have to open my eyes,
don't make me have to feel.

Crime lights burning like a halo, sidewalk under my feet,
passing trains below, I keep walking, with nothing in my head,
where am I going? Where am I going? Where am I going? Where am I going?

Some nights I walk mile after mile after mile, I need you, I need you,
I wanna smile at your smile, are you out there somewhere? Waiting?
Looking for me? I'm falling fast, falling, falling broken,
reach out and catch me.

And the city is in my blood like a curse, and the people and the noise,
only make it worse, and I can't tell you why there's no place I'd rather be,
where am I going? Where am I going? Where am I going? Where am I going?

Dirty gray city dropping rain down in my dreams, no one knows me,
no one knows me, no one knows me, no one knows me, so when you see me,
just walk on by, I'm cavin' in and I don't know why,
there's gotta be more than this, but I just can't find it.

I'm wandering in a city, unknown to myself, a stranger to everyone I meet,
I'm wasted on insomnia, paranoid to the hilt, where am I going?
Where am I going? Where am I going? Where am I going?

When the city drops on my head, when the city drops on my head,
when the city drops on my head, where am I going?
