Look at the light, babe, in the city
Won't you look at it glowing now?
Too much grievin', look no pity
I cannot find a way to slow it down
Can't you see that yellow road?
My sight is lessening with illusion
I'm so lost in this confusion
I got the fever a growing now
Had to find a distant sun.
Feeling kind of lost, startin' to wonder
Can I look back with no regrets
Tryin' hard, no one to help me
I have to make or break away
Get in my car and I start to ride
Towards the things I need to feel
A mist is rising, can't you see?
Closing gate, no way out for me
Can I find a distant sun to live in?
No way out now, babe, can't you see?
So many people staring back at me
I see the closing gates and no way out now
I'm just floating down and down and down I go
Can't you see that I'm living in confusion?
And I can't find no way out, no, no.
Now you've seen the lights of the city
Tell me what you're thinkin' now
Did you see the grief and the pity?
Isn't it enough to bring you down?
That yellow road doesn't do any good, babe
You can't escape from what you see
Everywhere you look is disaster
Ain't no way to set us free?
