Orange pylons racing by the light Mercury beams sliding through night Figures move as shadows crawl Here beneath the heart of it all At high speeds we look to see And we try to mind the signs Racing by, we fail to recognize All the things that cannot be Lights off the horizon All the world's poetry outdone Do I see the future Or do I see the sun? Broken lines speeding through the night Vapor red glows cut though my sight Fog enshrouds the still air whole Racing toward the final goal In this way we speed on by To raise our voices in time Flying on with planets crashing down And we merely curse the skies Glow looming in the distance Promising days still to come Do I see tomorrow Or do I see the sun? Purple shadows fading in the light Halogen lamps fading from sight Silence grows as echoes crash Run aground on the culture clash In this race we try to see Never stop to read the minds Speeding by, we fail to realize All the things that will not be The lights from the horizon All the world's poetry outdone Do I see the future Or do I see the sun?
