The Downtown Fiction - Is Anybody Out There? lyrics

Stand in line like military time Flowers blooming up from dirt Wear the ties and complicated lines There's wrinkles on a fresh-pressed shirt He stands alone, conforming on his own He's thinking but he does not speak He tries to fight the edges on his mind But she is what he truly seeks, but she is what he truly seeks Hey, is anybody out there? I'm reaching out Hey, is anybody out there? I'm coming down Hey, is anybody out there? I'm freaking out, I'm freaking out The heat does rise, perform in double time The sweat is falling from his brow He's near his prize, but she begins to fly He knows that he must act, the time is now A dance they play, an ancient lover's game Averts his eyes and chooses not to stare The trick, he sees, is aiming not to please Pretending that he doesn't really care If you want her, then pretend that you don't care Hey, is anybody out there? I'm reaching out Hey, is anybody out there? I'm coming down Hey, is anybody out there? I'm freaking out, I'm freaking out. We're trapped inside this star And we have gone too far All we want is to escape, escape, escape Hey, is there anybody out there? So shout it out Hey, is anybody out there? I'm reaching out Hey, is anybody out there? I'm coming down Hey, is anybody out there? I'm freaking out, I'm freaking out
