While you were waiting
For the right game
The world was fading
Changing its name
While you were jumping
Through different maps
Someone was sighting
Along different tacks
Where has the world gone tonight
Through the water electric lights
While you were dying in your own room
Spending the whole night pushing a broom
Pushing a pencil through its paces
Numbers were crunching
Revealing new spaces
Where has the world gone tonight
Through the water electric lights
Where has the world gone tonight
Through the water electric lights
While you were falling on the sidewalk
Lying about why you can't walk
Laughing at your hometown up in the bleachers
Hiding your skin full of old leaches
Where has the world gone tonight
Through the water electric lights
Where has the world gone tonight
