Running On Ice — текст песни (Joel Billy)

There`s a lot of tension in this town
I know it`s building up inside of me
I`ve got all the symptoms and the side effects
Of city life anxiety
I could never understand why the urban attitude
Is so superior
In a world of high rise ambition
Most people`s motives are ulterior
Sometimes I feel as though I`m running on ice
Paying the price too long
Kind of get the feeling that I`m running on ice
Where did my life go wrong
I`m a cosmopolitan sophisticate
Of culture and intelligence
The culmination of technology
And civilized experience
But I`m carrying the weight of all the useless junk
A modern man accumulates
I`m a statistic in a system
That a civil servant dominates
And all that means is that I`m running on ice
Caught in the vise so strong
I`m slipping and sliding, cause I`m running on ice
Where did my life go wrong
You`ve got to run
You`ve got to run
As fast as I can climb
A new disaster every time I turn around
As soon as I get one fire put out
There`s another building burning down
They say this highway`s going my way
But I don`t know where it`s taking me
It`s a bad waste, a sad case, a rat race
It`s breaking me
I get no traction cause I`m running on ice
It`s taking me twice as long
I get a bad reaction cause I`m running on ice
Where did my life go wrong
You`ve got to run
You`ve got to run
Running on ice
Running on ice
Running on ice
Running on ice
