Day's barely breaking
_____
And already a tear wanders across my cheeks
_____
The elevator waiting for me
_____
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 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
_____
I pick up my phone
_____
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
_____
Because whatever I say
_____
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
