People Watching - Air Traffic Controller

Across the room

Across the street

I’m watching you, watching me

So is that all there is to see

Are these your only memories

Are you the fly that’s on the wall

You can’t be caught, you’ll never fall

Hiding in secret from us all

Who can you trust, who will you call

There was a time, you could do you

Now all you do is people watch

You people watch that’s all you do

You loved and lost, you people watch

Everybody’s people watching

Everybody’s punch clocking

Waiting for the moonwalk

To take them back

To dance them away

Everybody’s shadow boxing

Don’t you want to stop drop and roll

Til the whole thing burns

Like you earned the flame

It’s all the same

Shame shame shame

How can you sleep

How will you die

When this is how you live your life

You see the world while locked inside

It’s just a flash before your eyes

We don’t know why

We can’t break through

If all we do is people watch

You people watch that’s all you do

You loved and lost, you people watch

Everybody’s people watching

Everybody’s punch clocking

Waiting for the moonwalk

To take them back

To dance them away

It’s all the same

Everybody’s shadow boxing

Don’t you want to stop drop and roll

Til the whole thing burns

Like you earned the flame

It’s all the same

Shame shame shame

Shame shame shame

Shame shame shame

A shame shame shame

Shame shame shame
