Dream Academy - Humdrum

Just a touch of industry. Monday morning. Put on your collar. Head straight out... everyone's waiting... don't be late
Uptown... midday... sound of the city on slow decay
See the faces behind private eyes as you pencil in their lives in the humdrum... can you hear the doldrum?
Stepping outside the firing line, there's a foreman standing on a bridge of iron
And the men walk across it to go back to work... in their monday morning shirts and they don't run... and when the work's done

At night, the streets are alive with catwalk... "West Side Story"... flashback parade
In this quick fire cracked up month,  men with ambition will be loved

Moving up to another rung. Feel the heart of the city beating tight as a drum
Playing "move on up" and the never stop
A whole world living out "beat the clock" 'til it's said and done... look after number one
Ultimatum! Deadline. Wound up so tight 'til you can't unwind

Worlds within worlds... some built out of nothing by those who left this world behind
Driven on by fear or ambition
Now... waiting in line
Things will work out fine... they just take a little time
