camel - city life lyrics

(latimer/hoover)
wake-up,
wake-up, wake-up
signs tell the time
you're wasting.

wake up
wake-up, wake-up
life you will find
is changing.

o the city life,
endless confusion.
hanging on too tight,
to this illusion...

i'm not what i appear to be.
i couldn't take the honesty,
it seemed to be...
too easy for reality.

o the city life,
what have i come to?
faces in the night,
friendly to fool you.

i always try to justify,
the way i am and wonder why
i couldn't be...
the same to you i am to me.
