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
