And already a tear wanders across my cheeks
The elevator waiting for me
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 I'm still a prisoner of my promises
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
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
I pick up my phone
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
That already my kids know
They'll have to get used to it
Take my place in traffic
Take my place in traffic
