The city is a ravin' neon nightmare,
Freudian symbols layu my soul bare,
And every way I turn
Electric h***dings burn,
And words that means nothing,
Are endlessly rushing
Telling me nothing I really wanna learn
A million loney people in a hurry
Sharin' nothin' but a burden of worry,
They're goin' nowhere at all,
They're runnin' at a crawl,
And of all the faces near to me,
Only one ever speaks to me,
And that's the face of the clock on the wall
You've got to run so hard
Just to stay where you are,
You've got to work
You've got to earn
You've got to spend,
The more you have, the more you want,
A spiral without end
Freudian symbols layu my soul bare,
And every way I turn

They're goin' nowhere at all,
They're runnin' at a crawl,
And of all the faces near to me,
Only one ever speaks to me,
And that's the face of the clock on the wall

Just to stay where you are,
You've got to work
