[Verse]
There's a light in the window
Shining like a prism
There's touch and innuendo
Love is like a prison
The women are all looking for the man that they came in with
He begged off long ago outside to smoke his cigarettes
The lights come on and everyone is frozen in their progress

[Refrain]
And I thought we'd be further along
I thought we'd be further along

[Verse]
There's a howl in the canyon
A tremor in the highrise
There's poison in the swimming pools
The ones your children use
Confusing our convenience for reasoned lack of forethought
The lines they read us are designed to make us forget
The waters that are rising soon arriving at our doorstep

[Refrain]
And I thought we'd be further along
I thought we'd be further along
