Watching The World Go By

Together alone, up on the roof
Watching the world go by
Only the two of them sitting alone
Sillouette against the blue sky

And I watch them and wonder
how brave they must be
Or if they're just as frightened as me
Watching the world go by

Beneath them the city is screaming it's name
The machines are digesting their meals
The lost souls are found and I'm carrying on
and yup it's your turn to deal

And a look in the eyes
is thought not to be wise
Cause if you see too much you might feel
Watching the world go by
Watching the world go by

I look up and they're gone
I guess they moved on
Seen all they wanted to see
The roof line is bare
Yeah I miss them up there
Where I'd be too frightened to be

But what did they think
from way up in the air
Was it peaceful and lovely down there
Watching the world go by
Watching the world go by
Watching the world go by
