Pallas - Rat Racing Lyrics
The call of the wild,brings me to my window-sill,eyes to the dawn.A tug on a heartstringby soft unknown, fingers.Leading me onBut there's only a streetlamp,standing guard to my soul,In the morning airA silent companionwaiting like me for the dawn...Faint stirrings of lifeare heard 'cross the rooftops,Breaking the spellEchoes of footstepsthat call down the pavement,With stories to tellAnd Chimney-smoke towers reaching out on the grey,Of the morning lightPassionate fingers, outstretched in welcome...for the dawnThe sound of the city,Thunders around me,Drags me alongThe babble of voices,The roar of the traffic,Drown me in their songI'm only a heartbeat keeping time with a pace,Set by marching feetA pulse that beats strongeras the new day unfolds from the dawn...Can you feel it pumping?Can you feel it flowing round and round?Can you feel it through your fingertips?To your head it flows up through the ground...Does it scare you?When you feel the scenery closing in...(Break)Adrift on the street,I merge with confusion,And I feel completeSwelling with the human tide,Heart and mind electrifiedI'm swaying like the ground beneath my feetWe can stand and watch with pride,or maybe scorn and cricise,How people seem like rats at running paceBut you and I are runners too,There's nothing more that we can do,But join the rats down at the starting gate(Solo)But you and I are runners too,There's nothing more that we can do but runRun, run, run, runThe final strait lies round the bend,But I don't want this race to end...!
