Falling from the top floor your lungs fill like parachutes windows go rushing by

The people inside they re dressed for the funeral in black and white

These ties strangle our necks hanging in the closet filed in the cubicle without a name just numbers on the resume stored in the mainframe marked for delete

Please take these hands throw them in the river wash away the things they never held

Please take these hands throw me in the river but dont let me drown before the workday ends

NINE TO FIVE

NINE TO FIVE

And we re up to our necks drowning in the seconds ingesting your morning commute lost in the dead Subway

Now we lie wide awake in our parents beds tossing and turning tomorrow we ll get up drive to work single file with everyday just like the last waiting for the life to start

It s always just ahead of the curve

Please take these hands throw them in the river wash away the things they never held

Please take these hands throw me in the river but dont let me drown before the workday ends

Just keep making copies of copies of copies

When will it end

It will never end until it gets so bad that the ink fills in our fingerprints and the silhouetteof your own face becomes the black cloud of war

Even in our dreams we re so afriad the weight will offset who we are

All those breaths that you took have now been cancelled in your lungs

Last night my teeth fell out like ivory typewriter keys and all the momuments and skyscrapers burned down and filled the sea

Save our ship the anchor is part of the desk

We can t cut free water is flooding the decks

The memo s sent through the currents computer spark like flares

I can see them but they don t touch me

Touch me please someone teach me how to swim

Please don t let me drown
