Up the Down Escalator Lyrics

Up the Down Escalator Lyrics

I'm gazing at faces staring blankly at me
I suppose it's just a sign of the times
They tell me tomorrow will never arrive
But I've seen it end a million times
I lost my direction while dodging the flak
Oh give me a hint or something!
If I could freeze time at the flick of a switch
I wouldn't hesitate
Now!
There must be something wrong boys

Obnoxious actions, obnoxious results
Yeah, from teachers who refuse to be taught
Distorted pictures and dizzy, dizzy people
Rush by me at the speed of thought
They sit at their tables and throw us the scr*ps
For Christ's sake leave me something!
Now they can erase you at the flick of a switch
How long now must we wait?
Now!
There must be something wrong boys
They're dragging me down!

Eden. There's no Eden. Anyway.

They sit at their tables and throw us the scr*ps
For Christ's sake leave us something!
Now they can erase us at the flick of a switch
How long now will it take?
Now!
There must be something wrong boys
There must be something wrong boys
And they're dragging me down
And they're dragging me down
They're dragging me down
You either swim or you drown
