I try not to let it get above me

Don't make me

Don't hurt me

Don't push me

Don't confront me



I try to separate real from unreal

Don't make me have to open my eyes

Don't make me have to feel



Crime lights burning like a halo

Sidewalk under my feet

Passing trees below

I keep walking with nothing in my head

Where am I going? Where am I going? Where am I going? Where am I going?



Some nights I walk mile after mile after mile

I need you, I need you

I want to smile at your smile

Are you out there somewhere, waiting, looking for me?

I'm falling fast, falling, falling broken, reach out and catch me



And this city's in my blood like a curse

And the people and the noise only make it worse

And I can't tell you why there's no place I'd rather be

Where am I going? Where am I going? Where am I going? Where am I going?



This city's outside my head

Well, this city's outside my head

Well, this city's outside my head



Dirty gray city dropping rain down in my dreams

Noone knows me, noone knows me, noone knows me, noone knows me...

So when you see me, just walk on by

I'm caving in and I don't know why

There's gotta be more than this, but I just can't find it



I'm wandering in a city, unknown to myself

A stranger to everyone I meet

I'm wasted on insomnia, paranoid to the hilt

Where am I going? Where am I going? Where am I going? Where am I going?



Well, this city's outside my head

Well, this city's outside my head

Well, this city's outside my head

Where am I going??
