Down a narrow hallway there's a shiny metal door
All the chairs and tables have been screwed into the floor
The cop inside my head is asking if I've been before
But his voice screams like a chainsaw and it cuts me to the core
Looking for a window but I ran into a wall
Searching for a telephone, I've gotta make a call
The seconds are suspended and the time begins to crawl
And everything is dripping now with rubbing alcohol
It's been so long, so long since I've seen you
I come to on the freeway in a shiny metal car
The driver's seat is empty so I grab the handlebars
The headlights coming at me look like blazing yellow stars
As the asphalt splits the landscape like an angry jagged scar
The anticipation of a new day, a rising reborn world
The alchemy of new ideas, of pages yet unturned
The promise of some future where these lessons have been learned
Of edifices yet unbuilt, of bridges not yet burned
