| Look at the light, babe, in the city |
| Won’t you look at it glowing now? |
| Too much grievin', look no pity |
| I cannot find a way to slow it down |
| Can’t you see that yellow road? |
| My sight is lessening with illusion |
| I’m so lost in this confusion |
| I got the fever a growing now |
| Had to find a distant sun. |
| Feeling kind of lost, startin' to wonder |
| Can I look back with no regrets |
| Tryin' hard, no one to help me I have to make or break away |
| Get in my car and I start to ride |
| Towards the things I need to feel |
| A mist is rising, can’t you see? |
| Closing gate, no way out for me Can I find a distant sun to live in? |
| No way out now, babe, can’t you see? |
| So many people staring back at me |
| I see the closing gates and no way out now |
| I’m just floating down and down and down I go Can’t you see that I’m living in confusion? |
| And I can’t find no way out, no, no. |
| Now you’ve seen the lights of the city |
| Tell me what you’re thinkin' now |
| Did you see the grief and the pity? |
| Isn’t it enough to bring you down? |
| That yellow road doesn’t do any good, babe |
| You can’t escape from what you see |
| Everywhere you look is disaster |
| Ain’t no way to set us free? |
