It`s Not — текст песни (Aimee Mann)

I keep going round and round on the same old circuit
A wire travels underground to a vacant lot
Where something I can`t see interrupts the current
And shrinks the picture down to a tiny dot
And from behind the screen it can look so perfect
But it`s not

So here I`m sitting in my car at the same old stoplight
I keep waiting for a change but I don`t know what
So red turns into green turning into yellow
But I`m just frozen here on the same old spot
And all I have to do is to press the pedal
But I`m not
No, I`m not

People are tricky, you can`t afford to show
Anything risky anything they don`t know
The moment you try, you kiss it goodbye

So baby kiss me like a drug like a respirator
And let me fall into the dream of the astronaut
Where I get lost in space that goes on forever
And you make all the rest just an afterthought
And I believe it`s you who could make it better
But it`s not
No, it`s not
No, it`s not
