Day's barely breaking

I'm already up

And already a tear wanders across my cheeks

And the coffee steaming

The elevator waiting for me

And the engine I fire up

Help me slowly

Take my place in traffic

Take my place in traffic

I'd like somebody to come free me

But the one I just chose

Gave me just enough to survive

And too little to escape

And I'm still a prisoner of my promises

To all those rug dealers

Who make me sleep on thick wool

And who force me at the end of every night

Take my place in traffic

Take my place in traffic

And when I want to talk to nobody

When I've got the blues

I pick up my phone

And I dial 12

I'm a mutant, a new man

I don't even own my desires

I perfume myself with carbon oxides

And I'm scared to know how I'll end up

I watch the rebels fade away

And I feel cramped inside my skin

But I swore on the law of ladders

If one day I wanna die at the top

I've gotta take my place in traffic

I've gotta take my place in traffic

And when I want to talk to nobody

When I've got the blues

I pick up my phone

And I dial 12

Because whatever I say

Whatever I do

The black cars have to pass

I'm a mutant, a new man

I don't even own my desires

I perfume myself with carbon oxides

And I'm scared to know how I'll end up

There's so much serious stuff

Going on in my streets

That already my kids know

They'll have to get used to it

Take my place in traffic

Take my place in traffic

My place in traffic

My place in traffic
