a thousand stars, the city lights
blur into a swarm of fireflies
intimidated and afraid I crawl back into my cave
but I will give it another try
a thousand cars drive through the night
like howling hounds ready to fight
intimidated and afraid I crawl back into my cave
shall I give it another try?
I am looking for somebody
out there to back me up
I think they're all gone
is there anybody
out there to hold me up?
I think it's all gone
a thousand dreams in the streets
buried under asphalt beneath our feet
no matter where I go I feel unsafe
so I crawl back into my cave
I won't give it another try
I am looking for somebody
out there to back me up
I think they're all gone
is there anybody
out there to hold me up?
I think it's all gone
watch your back
don't tread on their toes
keep a low profile
so I've been told
so I've been told
watch your back
don't tread on their toes
keep a low profile
so I've been told
so I've been told
now here I sit and wait for all those things to come my way
I've been waiting for so long
I sit and wait for all those things to come my way
I've been waiting for so long
waiting for so long
I'm still waiting
I was looking for somebody
out there to back me up
I think they're all gone
I couldn't spot anybody
I feel my time is up
and now it's all gone
