lyrics

The melodies are flowing but the words don't seem to come
So Paul is tearing up his notebook in the dark

Five doors down the hall Samantha's trying to escape
Out of the golden cage that her parents made

Apartment 9 Tom smashes stuff
Cause he has never been in love
and does his rockmoves for the mirror

And up on the 7th floor
Sheila tunes in to watch the war
For a safer feeling

I'm sleeping on the rooftop and reach for God
I'm looking for the essence
Over and over again

I don't need to keep up
Cause you don't even get me
Over and over again

Charlie at 815's really nervous about his date
But Anna's frantic cause the baby just won't eat

Her neighbour Sue is weeping, because her husband ran away
Carl is smoking while he's looking back at me

Beth lights a candle for the lost
While Alexander burns a cross
And Robert practises his proposal

So Bebe gives her shyest smile
she can't stop acting like a child
all out of secrets

I'm sleeping on the rooftop and reach for god
I'm looking for the essence
Over and over again

I don't need to keep up
Cause you don't even get me
Over and over again

I don't need to keep up
I don't need to keep up
I don't need to keep up
I’m way ahead

I'm sleeping on the rooftop and reach for God
I'm looking for the essence
Over and over again
