Faster - Something For Kate

Feel it comin' on

As the sun begins its shift

Over the city and all the sad and sleeping factories

I hear every engine

Hear them put together

Just to take apart my quiet quietness

The old men talk

In every direction

Someone calls in quiet desperation

Just stand in there

When open the door

Say «we can’t stay here anymore»

It’s another phone call

Another change of address

Another life-raft we will have to build for ourselves

There’ll be another nine

There’ll be another nine lives

And all the time in the world to trivialise

Memories lapse

And empires collapse

And we forget together on that

Some new construction came all at once and slow and certain

Standing on the side, I can see no difference

Same colours come and snap together looking just as life-sized

And life is like one long season

Two worlds on top of each other, one doesn’t notice the other

And their faces say «business as usual»

Faster and faster and faster and faster and

And if we leave

Or if we never leave

They’ll just cover us with new buildings

And if we leave

Or if we never leave

They’ll just cover us with new buildings

Some new construction came all at once and slow and certain

Standing on the side, I can see no difference

Same colours come and snap together looking just as life-sized

And life is like one long season

Two worlds on top of each other, one doesn’t notice the other

And their faces say «business as usual»

Faster and faster and faster and faster and faster and faster

And faster
