The Secret Machines Underneath The Concrete lyrics

Just as the moment arrived became a second a fall
It wasn't over then, I want some light to come in
They looked older besides coming down behind
Was I the only one? Was I the only one?

They were waiting down by the second street stop again
Was it the first time I had ever seen anyone?
Was I alone?

And on the wrong side looking for you
Underneath the concrete there ain't no place to move

They'd stolen all of our wings beneath a golden ring
It was the kind you'd use, it was the kind you'd use
I was waiting down and the second I stopped
The walls started closing in, I'd already given everything
Was I alone?

I was awake for the last time ready to run

Run until the concrete stops, stop and give in
There's no way to win, there's nothing to win

Last time I had been there waiting overcast and summer day
Back to nowhere up to know you, now I'm needed suddenly

They couldn't find the cause if there was only one
And if they're waiting for you and they'll be watching for you
Were they still down by the second street stop?
And then was it the only time I had ever seen anyone
Or was I alone?

Was I too late? For a moment I was forced to choose
Underneath the concrete looking for some space to move
I could be running to the sidewalk's end for the rest of my days
Looking for the faintest light, slipping away, slipping away, away, away
