We wonder through each other's lives
Just like the river's constant flow
And signs of life in all our eyes
Keep this city on the go

The sun will rise, the sun will set
Seven days, five and two
From this life into the next
We're all just trying to make it through
We're all just trying to make it through

In every class, in every school
At every desk where time's well spent
Waking up to break the rules
Waiting for the week to end

The same old tale repeats itself
9 to 5, year on year
Thoughts and hopes left on the shelf
Escape on Friday, get caught on Monday
Escape on Friday, get caught on Monday

The sun will rise, the sun will set
Seven days, five and two
From this life into the next
We're all just trying to make it through
We're all just trying to make it through
How the crowds emerge at night
Transported through the underground
Searching for that wonderlight
Glimpsed in dreams but rarely found

And all through midnight streets you'll hear
How the youthful and the old
Party hard to numb the fear
No one wants to feel the cold

Escape on Friday, get caught on Monday

Who to be and how to be
And what to wear and who to know
And where to go and do you care?
Follow me, I'll take you there

Who to be and how to be
And what to wear and who to know
And where to go and do you care?
Follow me, I'll take you there
Follow me, I'll take you there

In every slap and every kiss
And every push that turns to shove
And every hit and every miss
It's always work and never love
It's always work and never love
In every slap and every kiss
And every push that turns to shove
And every hit and every miss
It's always work and never love
It's always work and never love
