[Verse 1]

Week in and week out, lookin' out plate glass

At the planes floating past

Unfamiliar streets, strange geometry

Lost amongst the concrete

[Chorus]

Days roll by in the blink of an eye

As the leaves leave the trees just outside

Two parakeets in the streets painting the skies

From the wires

[Verse 2]

Stuck on the train again as it starts rainin'

Drops turn to rivers on the glass

Wind blows through breeze blocks, lights of a golden arch

Shining across the rooftops

[Chorus]

Days roll by in the blink of an eye

As the leaves leave the trees just outside

Two parakeets in the streets painting the skies

From the wires

You don't know why you do it, but you do it again

You trade in all your time and spend it on rent

You put your feet to the streets to make ends meet

Every week

Every week

[Instrumental]

[Chorus]

Days roll by in the blink of an eye

As the leaves leave the trees just outside

Two parakeets in the streets painting the skies

From the wires

You don't know why you do it, but you do it again

You trade in all your time and spend it on rent

You put your feet to the streets to make ends meet

Every week
