Neon veins across the sea Every dream on delivery Airplanes hum a lullaby Sleep is sold and time's the buy I chase the sound, but lose the feel The world's too fast to be real We're living in a world on wire Trading hearts for something higher Clock hands bend, the sky gets tired We move, we burn, we never tire Paper gods and plastic fame Same old faces, different names Spin the globe, it hums the same Every street forgets the pain We're breathing in a world on wire Feed the flame, forget the fire Gold runs cold in city spires We move, we burn, we never tire Fast food dreams in diamond malls Echoed prayers through mirrored walls No room left for where we stand Time runs out, we shake its hand We're living in a world on wire Slow decay dressed up in fire Clock hands bleed, the pulse expires We move, we burn, we never tire
