Down the street and through the halls
Corridors and shopping malls
We’re moving to an inner beat
Heart disconnected from our feet
I'm moving to a song that drives me on
My heart beats strong
My heart beats wrong

We're zombies in the shopping mall
Laden down with spoils of war
Wearing all the clothes we stole
Adding skin to break our fall
Dragging cases full of junk
We pilgrims stagger to the dump
The lemmings call

Take it easy take it easy
The stars, the sky, the sun and moon and tides.

Descending to the underground
Crowded out by subway sounds
Buried heads in headline frowns
Even the children look ground down
By taxes adverts terrorists
Compassion crawls money fists
I need a full-time therapist
So I can hang onto my bliss

God give me something I can do
To help me rise above the zoo
Make me famous make me rich
Distract me from this burning itch
While starving homeless orphans fight
For food and water, love and life
While I can waste a day online
Shopping for butter knife

Take it easy, take it easy
The stars, the sky, the sun and moon and tides

Johnny’s on the phone, Johnny’s online
Johnny’s in love, everything’s alive
Johnny thinks it’s all about faith but it’s all about time

Johnny’s on the phone, Johnny’s online
Johnny’s in love, everything’s alive
Johnny’s in an altered state cos it’s all about time

There's memory buried in the stone
A new King sits upon the throne
This fool is self deceiving
Won’t give up the world he's bleeding
Our cities are all history full
The fall of feet on cobbled streets
The fossil records show
All that remains is in the bones

Johnny’s on the phone, Johnny’s online
Johnny’s in love, everything’s alive
Johnny thinks it’s all about faith but it’s all about time

Johnny’s on the phone, Johnny’s online
Johnny’s in love, everything’s alive
Johnny’s in an altered state cos it’s all about time

Roller blader full of grace
Pirouette then flat on your face
I never thought that falling down
Was so beautiful
