Running On Ice

Текст песни BILLY JOEL - Running On Ice <br/> There&#039;s a lot of tension in this townI know it&#039;s building up inside of meI&#039;ve got all the symptoms and the side effectsOf city life anxietyI could never understand why the urban attitudeIs so superior( )<br />In a world of high rise ambitionMost people&#039;s motives are ulteriorSometimes I feel as though I&#039;m running on icePaying the price too longKind of get the feeling that I&#039;m running on iceWhere did my life go wrongI&#039;m a cosmopolitan sophisticateOf culture and intelligenceThe culmination of technologyAnd civilized experienceBut I&#039;m carrying the weight of all the useless junkA modern man accumulatesI&#039;m a statistic in a systemThat a civil servant dominatesAnd all that means is that I&#039;m running on iceCaught in the vise so strongI&#039;m slipping and sliding, cause I&#039;m running on iceWhere did my life go wrongYou&#039;ve got to runYou&#039;ve got to runAs fast as I can climbA new disaster every time I turn aroundAs soon as I get one fire put outThere&#039;s another building burning downThey say this highway&#039;s going my wayBut I don&#039;t know where it&#039;s taking meIt&#039;s a bad waste, a sad case, a rat raceIt&#039;s breaking meI get no traction cause I&#039;m running on iceIt&#039;s taking me twice as long
