Running on Ice

<br>There`s a lot of tension in this town<br>I know it`s building up inside of me<br>I`ve got all the symptoms and the side effects<br>Of city life anxiety<br><br>I could never understand why the urban attitude<br>Is so superior<br>In a world of high rise ambition<br>Most people`s motives are ulterior<br><br>Sometimes I feel as though I`m running on ice<br>Paying the price too long<br>Kind of get the feeling that I`m running on ice<br>Where did my life go wrong<br><br>I`m a cosmopolitan sophisticate<br>Of culture and intelligence<br>The culmination of technology<br>And civilized experience<br><br>But I`m carrying the weight of all the useless junk<br>A modern man accumulates<br>I`m a statistic in a system<br>That a civil servant dominates<br><br>And all that means is that I`m running on ice<br>Caught in the vise so strong<br>I`m slipping and sliding, cause I`m running on ice<br>Where did my life go wrong<br><br>You`ve got to run<br>You`ve got to run<br><br>As fast as I can climb<br>A new disaster every time I turn around<br>As soon as I get one fire put out<br>There`s another building burning down<br><br>They say this highway`s going my way<br>But I don`t know where it`s taking me<br>It`s a bad waste, a sad case, a rat race<br>It`s breaking me<br><br>I get no traction cause I`m running on ice<br>It`s taking me twice as long<br>I get a bad reaction cause I`m running on ice<br>Where did my life go wrong<br><br>You`ve got to run<br>You`ve got to run<br><br>Running on ice<br>Running on ice<br>Running on ice<br>Running on ice
