Verse 2: 
Soon our work is done, 
All of us one by one. 
Still we live our lives, 
As if all this stuff survives. 
 
Don't you wanna know me? 
Be a friend of mine. 
I'll share some wisdom with you. 
Don't you ever get lonely, 
From time to time? 
Don't let the system get you down 
 
Bridge?. 
The Linguist across the seas and the oceans, 
A permanent Itinerant is what I;ve chosen. 
I find myself in Big City prison, arisen from the vision of man kind. 
Designed, to keep me discreetly neatly in the corner,  
you?ll find me with the flora and the fauna and the hardship. 
Back a yard is where my heart is still I find it hard  
to depart  
this Big City Life.
