lyrics

There's a man on the roof,
standing in the rays of light.
Sunrise over hazy town.
That man is swimmin' in the light,
cold light.

The man is looking,
for a reason.
The reason why he's on the roof.
Is it just for show,
or is there something more?
He's paralyzed because he suddenly doesn't know.

Is it just for show,
or is there something more?
He doesn't know.
He's paralyzed.

His shadow is dancing with his silhouet.
He's killing time,
while he should be at work.
But no one knows,
he's up there all alone.
He could be in a different world as well.

So he starts runnnin',
far away now!
It's now or never.
He wants do disappear.
So he runs off,
into the unknown world.
The day he vanished,
no one can recall..

There's a man on the roofs,
roaming through the fading light.
Sunset over hazy town.
The man forever on his own,
is free at last.
