Up The Down Escalator Lyrics - Singles - Chameleons

I'm gazing up at the faces staring blankly at me 

I suppose it's just a sign of the times. 

They tell me that tomorrow will never arrive 

But I've seen it end a million times. 

I lost my direction while dodging the flak 

Give me a hint or something 

If I could freeze time at the flick of a switch 

I wouldn't hesitate 

No! 

There must be something wrong boys. 

Obnoxious action, obnoxious results 

From teachers who refuse to be taught. 

Distorted pictures and dizzy dizzy people 

Rush by me at the speed of though. 

And sit at their tables and throw us the scraps 

For Christs' sake leave us something 

Now they can erase us at the flick of a switch 

How long will it take 

Now! 

There must be something wrong boys 

They're dragging me down. 

Eden, there's no Eden, anyway. 

They sit at their tables and throw us the scraps 

For Christs' sake leave us something 

Now they can erase you at the flick of a switch 

How much longer must we wait 

Now! 

There must be something wrong boys 

They're dragging me down 

You either swim or you drown.
