r faces
             
Worn out place

   Bright and 

              
early for thei

  
r daily races
             
Going nowhere,

 
 going nowhere
            
   Their tears

             
 are filling u

p their glasse

s
             
No expression,

rown my sorrow
            
No tomorrow, n

The dreams in

 to tell you,
