Singin' in the Dark

The things people can't change,
The things we all must fear,
Make me want to scream,
“Let me out of here!”

I can't leave,
I can't scream,
I can't do anything but sing,
“Let me out of here!”

Artificial, is all we are,
Driving down the road in our cars,
Staring through the windows,
Staring at the road,
“Where are we on our path?
How far ahead is the car ahead?”

Am I a cure to this artificial life,
Or am I part of the disease?
Standing here in the dark,
Under the roadway singin',
“Let me out of here!”

You're behind and he's ahead,
Starin' through the car window,
And I'm below the road, unmoving,
Singin' in the dark.

Nothing else compares.
Breakups, cheating, lies and all,
At least you have a real life,
Moving on the road.

And I'm standing here,
Singin' in the dark,
No breakups, cheating, or lies at all,
Because I'm artificial life.
“Let me out of here!”

If we stood there side-by-side,
I would want to run and hide,
There would be me,
And there would be you.

My pale skin next to your bright bronze,
Lighting up the dark,
You're hurt and lost,
But you see the light,

And you're moving towards the end of the road,
The end of the road,

And I'm standing here,
Singin' in the dark,
Singin' in the dark,
“Let me out of here!”
