20 Floors Below

20 Floors Below

G.b.h
(album: A Fridge Too Far)

In the city of madness, I´m just another face,
but they know right where I am,
gotta leave this place.
Hiding in the subway, I don´t like it down here,
rats are coming after me, they can smell my fear.

I´m in a fix, can´t you tell,
living in this high rise hell.
Got the clouds for company,
terra ferma is the place to be.

In the city of chrome and steel,
they´ve got axes to grind.
I´m looking straight ahead of me,
but they´re coming up from below.
Try an´ escape to the sky but I got my vertigo blues,
running out of time and luck,
wearing dead mens shoes.

They´re twenty floor below,
twenty floor below.
I can see the whites of their eyes,
and they´re coming to get me.

In the city of angels underneath the desert moon,
I may seem in control right now,
but it´s them who´s calling the tune.
Turn to face my killers,
now turn and confront my fear.
There´s a shadow on the wall, everything is clear.

In the city where the motto is "Forward",
I feel right at home.
And I never can settle down, no matter where I roam.
Fidget bouncing off the wall,
finding we got no cheese.
Check the answerphone,
and a little more petrol please.
