It's the twentieth century, it's picking up speed
Everyone's out for number one
Creatures of habit, fashion and style
Not time for love, we're on the run

Parallel lines, parallel lines
Movin' together but we never touch
Parallel lines, parallel lines
That's how you and I live - in parallel lines

Lookin' for answers, searchin' for clues
Some of us get more that we need
Givin' and takin' but everybone pays
Until be are brought down to our knees

Parallel lines, parallel lines
Movin' together but we never touch
Parallel lines, parallel lines
That's how you and I live - in parallel lines

Sometimes I wonder how we ever survive
Caught in between these parallel lines
Standing in circles, sitting in ques
Strictly adhering to our views

Parallel lines, parallel lines
Movin' together but we never touch
Parallel lines, parallel lines
That's how you and I live - in parallel lines
