lyrics

You swipe your I.D. card
But you forget who you are
You look down at the name
But the letters fall out of frame

You sit down at your desk
You take your pills for stress
You're in the office alone
Sick building syndrome

Lying to yourself today
You watch as the numbers on the
Digital clock face grow, and grow
And reset and then grow

You sign the dotted line
And then you see the fine
Print it's so discreet
The way they hide defeat

You sit and wait in your car
And wonder who you are
You look up in the mirror
The answer's getting nearer

You are just a simple mind
Floating in the juices of some
Inconclusive ways to find
The answers to life's simplest of question

*You swipe your I.D. card
*But you forget who you are
*You look down at the name
*But the letters fall out of frame

*You sign the dotted line
*And then you read the fine
*Print it's so discrete
*The way they hide defeat

* (Simultaneous)
