Текст (слова) песни: Joel, Billy - Running On Ice

Theres a lot of tension in this town
I know its building up inside of me
Ive got all the symptoms and the side effects
Of city life anxiety

I could never understand why the urban attitude
Is so superior
In a world of high rise ambition
Most peoples motives are ulterior

Sometimes I feel as though Im running on ice
Paying the price too long
Kind of get the feeling that Im running on ice
Where did my life go wrong

Im a cosmopolitan sophisticate
Of culture and intelligence
The culmination of technology
And civilized experience

But Im carrying the weight of all the useless junk
A modern man accumulates
Im a statistic in a system
That a civil servant dominates

And all that means is that Im running on ice
Caught in the vise so strong
Im slipping and sliding, cause Im running on ice
Where did my life go wrong

Youve got to run
Youve got to run

As fast as I can climb
A new disaster every time I turn around
As soon as I get one fire put out
Theres another building burning down

They say this highways going my way
But I dont know where its taking me
Its a bad waste, a sad case, a rat race
Its breaking me

I get no traction cause Im running on ice
Its taking me twice as long
I get a bad reaction cause Im running on ice
Where did my life go wrong

Youve got to run
Youve got to run

Running on ice
Running on ice
Running on ice
Running on ice
