City life.
Speed-trip city life.
Moving me away from that speed-trip city life.
Getting me some air.
Getting me some fresh air.

Madness.
Madness in the city.
Spinning
like a banshee.
Un-noticed.
Un-noticed
in the chaos of the city.

City life.
Speed-trip city life.
Moving me away from that speed-trip city life.

Painful.
Painful in the city.
Hurting
like an exile.
Born out of time.
Out of time
in the chaos of the city.

Happiness crept up from behind like a shadow.
Taking her by surprise.
Sun beckoned.
Come be warm for a while.
