When you look out at night, you are surrounded by people,

Cracked in the heat again, dead on their feet again, people,

Rings all around their eyes, flashing their whitest lies,

Taking their medicine, till they're all out of time, people, people,



What does it say to you when you can't face all those people

You could run out of friends faster than making them

Out on your own again, now you don't know how to feel, feel



When you're looking for reason and finding confusion

You're caught in the crossfire, learning to thrill,

Well there's gotta be some way out of the groove

Now you're caught in a maelstrom, spinning your laughter

Feeling your backbone turn into glue

And I wanna be so fine, people



When you look out at night, are you surrounded by people

Cracked in the heat again, dead on their feet again,

taking their medicine, till they're all out of time, people, people



When you're looking for reason and finding confusion

You're caught in the crossfire, learning to thrill,

Well there's gotta be some way out of the groove

Now you're caught in a maelstrom, spinning your laughter

Feeling your backbone turn into glue

And I wanna be so fine, people

people, people, people
