Elevated to the top floor
Voice print opens the door
It's all yours
Swiveling chair, mahogany desk
The paranoramic view is picturesque
-
Remote control venetian blinds
Dim the skyline dripping over time
A hot tub and masseusse on call
But you're better work hard
If you wanna play hard ball
-
Yo this ain't Monopoly
Plain and simple it's proper monotony
Get set for a life in the jet set
Or should I say a life in a head set
-
Line three, it's a conference call
Think out the box baby, stay on the ball
You're a millionaire but you don't care
You've made it to the top but you'd better stay there
---
A board metting at half past three
With the CEO and the new VP
They got a problem with the Japanese
They bought a first class ticket for you overseas
-
You got a mission to micro-manage
Weed out the problem and make it vanish
You might break with the protocol
But if you leave with a handshake problem solved
-
It was a job well done
You passed the test and got the respect of everyone
The sideline sitters and the sword-swallowers
The bottom feeders and the board followers
-
You want food for thought just devour with this
You're either powerless or on the power list
Just remember that corporate culture
Starts with adreneline and ends with ulcers
---
But now you're losing drive
Third quarter stock takes a nose dive
And the brass want explanations
It's in the papers, they're losing patience
---
Some heads gotta roll
They gonna try and squeeze you out through a loophole
Say goodbye to your swivelling chair
You made it to the top but you couldn't stay there
---
Decisions
Wake up everyday you gotta make'em again
Sunk deep in the night I sink in the night
Standing alone underneath the sky
I feel the chill of ice on my face
I watch the hours go by
The hours go by
You sleep
Sleep in a safe bed
Curled and protected
Protected from sight
Under a safe roof deep in your house
Unaware of the changes at night
At night I hear the darkness breathe
I sense the quiet despair
Listen to the silence at night
Someone has to be there
Someone must be there
Death falls so heavy on my soul
Death falls so heavy, makes me moan
Somebody tell my father that I died
Somebody tell my mother that I cried
Death falls so heavy on my soul
Death falls so heavy, makes me moan
Somebody tell my father that I died
Somebody tell my mother that I cried
Once in my younger days I had a girl to love
Death falls so heavy on my soul
Death falls so heavy, makes me moan
Somebody tell my father that I died
Somebody tell my mother that I cried
Once in my younger days I had a girl to love
Across your open mind
I trace erratic lines
In motion and in time
I fought a battle won
To the surface of the sun
Through fires on and on
It's only you, It can't be me
For I myself refuse to be
I am someone you'll never know
I am the little neutrino
Solus is not far away
It's face is brighter than a day
So don't turn me away
And now I'm passing through
The one who's known as you
And yet you'll never know I do
Good night
