From a Distance

Don’t you know you better get some sleep
you better get some sleep now
but all you’re gonna do is run out there
and hide in the sound
looking good from a distance
while you’re dancing around
no slowing down no one with questions around
a soul left behind is more than a matter of time
sing you will rise and shine
Everybody’s gonna get somewhere
gonna get somewhere now
everybody’s going faster
and faster somehow
looking good from a distance
while you’re dancing around
Cars and pearls in line
you can see how they shine
the thrill of a crime
but hear them desperately crying
we will rise and shine
looking good from a distance
while you’re dancing around
me running down the platform
you’re waving your hand
don’t know where you lost it
I don’t understand
Looking good from a distance
and all the way from the shore
the oceans will roar and drag you in
good-looking from a distance
while you’re dancing around
I’m running down the platform waving my hand
