There's a lot of tension in this town, I know it's building up inside of me I got all the symptoms and the side effects of city life anxiety I can never understand why the urban attitude is so superior In a world of high-rise ambition, most people's motives are ulterior Sometimes I feel as though I'm running on ice, paying the price too long Can't get the feeling that I'm running on ice, where did my life go wrong? I'm a cosmopolitan, sophisticated of culture and intelligence The culmination of technology and civilized experience But I'm carrying a weight of all the useless junk a modern man accumulates I'm a statistic in a system that a civil servant dominates And all that means is that I'm running on ice, calling the vice so strong Loosing and sliding cars, I'm running on ice, where did my life go wrong? As fast as I can climb a new disaster every time I turn around As soon as I get one fire put out there's another building burning down They say this highway's going my way but I don't know where it's taking me Is it bad waste, a sad case of bad race, it's breaking me I get no traction cause I'm running on ice, it's taking me twice as long Get a bad reaction cause I'm running on ice, where did my life go wrong? You just run, run, run, run, oh, oh, you run, you run, you run, run, oh, oh, oh Runnin' on ice, stickin' on slidin', Runnin' on ice, runnin' on ice, stickin' on slidin' Runnin' on ice, stickin' on slidin', Runnin' on ice, stickin' on slidin',
