Prolific - Think lyrics

I saw a girl dying, coughing up blood, In an alleyway crying, lost and unloved, I saw a man lying face down asking for a drink, I saw a troubled teen laughing and dancing with her shrink, I haven't seen much, but it seems I've seen enough, Everyday, looking at the faces on the bus, It goes broken heart, overdose, prozac, comatose, Rest in peace, forever free… here lies no one knows.. Keep that blue collar up, cuz the day was long, Head high after fifty years of the same job, Men'll talk glory days, though they never had them, Cuz somewhere in their minds they know that they were handsome, I stare at flies lying in the window pane, looking out, Waiting wondering asking what this life is all about? The world keeps on spinning, but there's not much to say, Sunset sunrise, each day by day… Think I saw an old dog dreaming, restless in his sleep, A young boy hustling d**, selling sets of weed, I saw the poor man sing a song as he washed the floor, An old drunk still waiting for fate to walk in the door, I haven't seen much, but it seems I've seen enough, Everyday, looking at the faces on the bus, It goes superstar, open rose, crack head, rolling stone, Rest in peace, forever free, here lies no one knows… It's hard to be the type that doesn't want friends, Looking for your 15 minutes of fame but you only got ten, Friend of mine says he doesn't care, in any case it's all absurd, Says his life's a microcosm of all that's wrong in this world, I think it's true but, I wish things were more simple, Pursuing my muse, left throwing rocks at her window, I let the wind blow, flowing clouds over evening skies, And embrace the pain cuz it's what keeps each of us alive, Think I heard the sound of silence, I listened to it call, I read the common man's poetry that was written on the wall, I lay beside a sleeping beauty, until from sleep she rose, And showed the me the imperfections hidden beneath her clothes… And I know our time is short, so all I ask is to be free, To live now and let fate take me on a summer's eve, Just a dream that fades away, once you break away from sleep, But I'm glad I stayed awake to play this game that filled these days and weeks, Think, think
