The Sympathetic CEO

lyrics

I'm sitting on top of the world. There's nowhere to look but down.
It felt like such a triumph, but now I look around.
And all of the houses are rotting away. The shops and the cars.
The streets on it's way. I don't like the look that it has.
It's getting me down. I'm one of those houses, seeing that now.

I'm sitting on top of the world. There's nowhere to make a sound.
It felt like such a triumph. Now silence all around.
Hey who's there? Can you hear?
There's nothing new and nothing clear.
I don't think that you heard me no.
Is it true? I gotta know.

Living a lie in a paradigm. You're thinking you got it all right.
But you're living a life not a peace of mind, like a busy fading site.
It's elementary to be such a silly one when you really know where it's from.
Because it's better to be in a fantasy when the truth comes crashing on.
The truth comes crashing on...
