[Verse 1] Concrete towers pierce the sky Heat waves shimmer on the tar Another morning same old sigh Wishing I was somewhere far [Pre-Chorus] Engines hum a restless tune My patience wearing thin soon [Chorus] It's a race a blur a chase No escape from this slow pace Every light a burning red Wish I was home in my bed This city never sleeps you see Trapped in traffic agony [Verse 2] Horns are blaring out a plea Another wasted moment gone Just endless cars surrounding me From dusk till weary dawn [Bridge] The air hangs thick with fumes and dreams A thousand stories trapped inside A silent scream a silent gleam Nowhere left to run or hide [Chorus] It's a race a blur a chase No escape from this slow pace Every light a burning red Wish I was home in my bed This city never sleeps you see Trapped in traffic agony [Outro] (Music softens,becomes more atmospheric) But the radio plays...a forgotten song... And for a moment...right here... where I don't belong... I'm finally gone... (Music swells gently with a synth pad or guitar note,then fades to silence)
