The Flaming Lips - 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 Now they can erase us At the flick of a switch How long will they wait No! There must be something wrong boys Obnoxious actions Obnoxious results Teachers who refuse to be taught Distorted pictures And dizzy, dizzy people Rush by me at the speed of thought Sitting at tables And throwing the scraps For Christ's' sake leave them something Now they can erase us At the flick of a switch Will they hesitate No! There must be something wrong boys They're dragging me down Eden There's no Eden, anyway. They're dragging me down You either swim or you drown
