Running On Ice Lyrics
There's a lot of tension in this townI know it's building up inside of me
I've got all the symptoms and the side effectsOf city life anxiety
I could never understand why the urban attitudeIs so superior
In a world of high rise ambitionMost people's motives are ulterior
Sometimes I feel as though I'm running on icePaying the price too long
Kind of get the feeling that I'm running on iceWhere did my life go wrong
I'm a cosmopolitan sophisticateOf culture and intelligence
The culmination of technologyAnd civilized experience
But I'm carrying all the weight of all the useless junkA modern man accumulates
I'm a statistic in a systemThat a civil servant dominates
And all that means is that I'm running on iceCaught in a vice so strong
I'm slipping and sliding, cause I'm running on iceWhere did my life go wrong
You've got to runYou've got to runAs fast as I can climb
A new disaster every time I turn aroundAs soon as I get one fire put out
There's another building burning downThey say this highway's going my way
But I don't know where it's taking meIt's a bad waste, a sad case, a rat race
It's breaking meI get no traction cause I'm running on ice
It's taking me twice as longI get a bad reaction cause I'm running on ice
Where did my life go wrongYou've got to runYou've got to runRunning on ice
Running on iceRunning on iceRunning on ice
Billy Joel Running On Ice
