The lights of Helsinki, familiar and dormant A horizontal haze shrinking in the storm And all displays of affection frowned upon as vain No other people on this planet quite as proud of all its pain Its raining sideways, waters flooding the highways Another winter of discontent discontinued More dark inspired days to leave behind these walls No redesign will solve whats predestined in you But this is where we are and this is where we could belong As chance would have it, we can inhabit And reform it all just slightly A slow progression, no one pushed back As the invisible hand has now become just that Inhuman kind, the vilest being Drowns into a blinding blue And silent green Let me step into a time machine Let me step into a time machine 2x Now see the lights of Shibuya Flickering quicker in the dark of night And the delights a destroyer Every city has its own ten commandments Its modes of transit and souls in abandon I deploy a defense to resist it all Whether pinned to the ground or up against a wall The concrete, chrome, and I become one I find it a comfort, provided Im done With the hide and the hunt And the ride and the lump in my throat Dying for a bump in the road More tires that smoke, my desire has sunken my boat Crying for wires and rope From suppliers of hope, I cant get an answer Maybe I should raise a hand to try demand some Replace retreat with forward advancement It pays to be distorted, the rewards are handsome Could have pictured being richer than Richard Branson Better mention, if we switch, Im in the kitchen dancing The picture getting clearer, no need for enhancement People look like ants, and I am high enough transcend The walls, the traffic, the minutes, and the laughing The noise, the caffeine, the cynics, and the massive Void between ourselves and how we want to be seen Shibuya give me comfort, let me constantly dream Inhuman kind, the vilest being Drowns into a blinding blue And silent green Let me step into a time machine Let me step into a time machine 2x
