Hanoi Rocks

Sailling through the tunnels 
In the morning by yourself 
There's a very special feeling 
True sensation all is well 
If you stand and reach your arms out wide 
Close your eyes and try to fly 
It's an underground illusion 
Tricking you from side to side 

We knew all the answers 
And we shouted them like anthems 
Anxious and suspicious 
That God knew how much we cheated 

It can't come quickly enough 
And now you've spent your life 
Waiting for this moment 
And when you finally saw it come 
It passed you by and left you so defeated 

Skyscrapers rise between us 
Keeping me from finding you 
If the concrete architecture 
Dissapeared there'd be so few 
Of us left to navigate and 
Defend ourselves from the tide 
It's an underground illusion 
Tricking you from side to side 

There's no indication of 
What we were meant to be 
Sucking up to strangers 
Throwing wishes to the sea 

It can't come quickly enough 
And now you've spent your life 
Waiting for this moment 
And when you finally saw it come 
It passed you by and 
Left you so defeated
