You're living in the darkness
You're sleeping in the light
Engine in the city
Gonna run the night
No, it's no way to live your life
All your dreams are gone
The modern world will help you to carry on

Don't look out your window
Your eyes can only see by electric light

Medicine will help you
Cut out all the pain
Relying on your doctor to keep you sane
It doesn't matter anymore
Emotions stretched so tight
The message in your mirror
Says give up the fight

Don't look out your window
Your eyes can only see by electric light

You're living in the darkness
You're sleeping in the light
Engine in the city
Gonna run the night
It doesn't matter anymore
Emotions stretched so tight
The message in your mirror
Says give up the fight

Don't look out your window
Your eyes can only see by electric light
