People Watching Songtext
von Air Traffic Controller

Across the room
Across the street
I′m watching you, watching me
So is that all there is to see?
Are these your only memories?

Are you the fly that's on the wall?
You can′t be caught, you'll never fall
Hiding in secret from us all
Who can you trust?
Who will you call?

There was a time, you could do you
Now all you do is people watch
You people watch, that's all you do
You loved and lost, you people watch

Everybody′s people watching
Everybody′s punch clocking
Waiting for the moonwalk
To take them back
To dance them away


Everybody's shadow boxing
Don′t you want to stop, drop, and roll
Till the whole thing burns
Like it earned the flame?
It's all the same

Shame, shame, shame
Shame, shame, shame

How can you sleep
How will you die
When this is how you live your life?
You see the world while locked inside
It′s just a flash before your eyes

We don't know why
We can′t break through
If all we do is people watch
You people watch, that's all you do
You loved and lost, you people watch

Everybody's people watching
Everybody′s punch clocking
Waiting for the moonwalk
To take them back
To dance them away
It′s all the same


Everybody's shadow boxing
Don′t you want to stop, drop, and roll
Till the whole thing burns
Like it earned the flame?
It's all the same

Shame, shame, shame
Shame, shame, shame
Shame, shame, shame

A shame, shame, shame
Shame, shame, shame
