The Joggers - Ziggurat Traffic (original) lyrics

Back lights they come on strong They do not wait, they just hold us down Or break our legs and let it stop, Oh let it stop We were lost in dime-store rules I was holding myself next to you And you said "oh wait, oh don't wait" The things you say, the things you do They have no effect on you And I won't kneel now to turn those screws We take our chances every night Walk out into the hailing strange designs Black ties under blue skies, black eyes under our minds The ziggurats at your two feet appear so complete Standing just where need, standing just where they need Those kids who torched the hives Couldn't know how blind the smoke would turn their eyes How cold the heat would make their minds Just wait, oh don't wait The slums of bloom won't dissipate And wait, oh don't wait Let's breath before the air walks off And speak before we're at another loss One's coming now The bloom has come and gone Come and gone, but we're still young We'll skate over the sun Old chaos of the sun The bloom has come and gone I feel another coming, coming on Over the sun, old chaos of the sun
