lyrics

Driving a long a road I know so well
Suddenly something’s wrong here, I sense something’s very wrong here
I take my eyes off the road and I turn my head
Look over there behind you, now I see all the signs behind you

Skylines full of cranes, we cannot see the chains
And if we cannot see, how will we break free

A flash of the sun distracts me and I have to drive
But my thoughts are no longer here, my thoughts are no longer clear
Everything changes these days hour by hour
Without a care for nature, everything’s based on pleasure

Skylines full of cranes, we cannot see the chains
And if we cannot see, how will we break free
Skylines full of cranes, we cannot see the chains
And if we cannot see, how will we break free

Look over there behind you, now I see all the signs behind you
Suddenly something’s wrong here, I sense something’s very wrong here

Skylines full of cranes, we cannot see the chains
And if we cannot see, how will we break free

Everything changes these days hour by hour
Without a care for nature, everything’s based on pleasure
