A million cups of coffee
Before I hit the road
Powder on my sleeve
And the usual load
Dark mirror shades
My mind still debates
And is certain all has come
To fade away
The world is still
One big factory
Just making things
To keep us happy
I have gone deeper underground
To a place where the sun never goes down
I still think of you a million times each day
I would love to come and visit you some day
You still whisper in my mind that it's okay
The smell of the seasons
Bring back memories
As I'm lazing down
The long lime lane
I always gaze
At ruined factories
Abandoned tracks
Where trains don't arrive or leave
No more lovers on the rooftops
No more pictures of he and she
Only frozen statues
On every street
I have gone deeper underground
To a place where the sun never goes down
I still think of you a million times each day
I would love to come and visit you some day
You still whisper in my mind that it’s okay
