lyrics

revolving door

revolving door i know you won't disappoint
your windowed soul shows the world as clear
and i am a lonely child,
no friends have i to join my games
but when the nameless faces glow in glass
they spin me 'round, i dance and laugh

my mother says i can't live in dreams
but wasn't it her dream to live on park place?
and my father says ignorance is bliss
and smart success is his, so i guess that's the case

thousands of people walk by me every day
no one is happy above manhattan way

revolving door the busy people go about their days
from box to box they race
they spin in their walls to a dizzying pace
so they will ride them like a carousel of broken hopes
of "so it goes!" and as i watch the turn i wonder so

do their mother say they can't live in dreams?
'cause they walk in waking sleep through sun and through rain
do their fathers say ignorance is bliss?
because if there's joy they're ignoring it
do they think that's the same?

thousands of people walk by me everyday
no one is happy above manhattan way
i see them going as they're marching in a line
their eyes are downward,
but their lips are singing in time
"we are not happy, we are not happy"

i am just a child, i am just a child!
revolving door, i know you won't disappoint
your windowed soul shows the world as clear
