lyrics

The people on the trams don't have too much to say
If they could speak they'd clam up anyway
paper mache face is ok
drawn on mouth's acceptable if it's a smile
And show your heart's not made of card
If you could feel, the cold would freeze you hard
stiff as dummies on the way to
Work or school or home or anywhere

We're goin on a journey not measured in miles and
We'll travel inside of our thoughts for a while
Let's contemplate all the light we possess
And love that we might take for granted or less

I'm looking at the folk behind the glassy wall
I'm wondering if they can touch or feel at all
The icy stare suggests they're lonely
And all together waiting for the only one
To see they’re just like you and me
1-2-3 we're all a family
Waiting for the ice to break and
The glass to smash so we can feel the rays....

of sun and the clouds in reflections of light
Projecting the sky in the glass,what a sight
The folk on the tram catch the glare in their eyes
there's never a blink on their painted disguise

They might be fake and going next to nowhere
But while you're here you're never far from somewhere
Get back in your bed and get out of the right side
You might be overcome with melancholy
But soon enough you'll get to feelin’ jolly
Reach out your hand, grab a seat on a tram ride
