Uncharted Territory

[Verse 1]
I hear the buildings sigh a little night-shift song
In elevator cars, I watch them all night long
They itch for cigarettes, they stare at what they see
They sit and do their jobs
They are a lot like me
They're far away from where they'd hoped they'd be
Uncharted territory

[Verse 2]
She left her keys upstairs, he's working much too late
They dream of different lives, and blame it all on fate
I get a lot of blame, but they don't comprehend
My job description's short;
It simply reads "the end."
A person's life is up to them, not me
Uncharted territory

[Bridge]
They can't see
How the universe expands and grows around them
They don't know
The miracle of light that might astound them
All their night-shift eyes can see
Are fragments of infinity
Pieces so unfathomably small
A god like me can't see them there at all

[Verse 3]
She picks her briefcase up, he telephones his ride
They make their way downstairs, and then they walk outside
I wonder where she lives, I wonder where he goes
I always have to laugh when people say "God knows"
'Cause there is only so much that a god can see
There always has to be
Uncharted territory
