Stand in line like military time
Flowers blooming up from dirt
Wear the ties and complicated lines
There's wrinkles on a fresh-pressed shirtHe stands alone, conforming on his own
He's thinking but he does not speak
He tries to fight the edges on his mind
But she is what he truly seeks, but she is what he truly seeksHey, is anybody out there?
I'm reaching out
Hey, is anybody out there?
I'm coming down
Hey, is anybody out there?
I'm freaking out, I'm freaking outThe heat does rise, preform in double time
The sweat is falling from his brow
He's near his prize, but she begins to fly
He knows that he must act, the time is nowA dance they play, an ancient lover's game
Averts his eyes and chooses not to stare
The trick, he sees, is aiming not to please
Pretending that he doesn't really care
If you want her, then pretend that you don't careHey, is anybody out there?
I'm reaching out
Hey, is anybody out there?
I'm coming down
Hey, is anybody out there?
I'm freaking out, I'm freaking out.We're trapped inside this star
And we have gone too far
All we want is to escape, escape, escapeHey, is there anybody out there?
So shout it outHey, is anybody out there?
I'm reaching out
Hey, is anybody out there?
I'm coming down
Hey, is anybody out there?
I'm freaking out, I'm freaking out
