[Verse 1]
Watch the paper window, see the stars
News and views to show you who you are
Keep the money moving, change the scene
Open up the market with our dreams
[Chorus]
Almost there, you and I
Catch the fall, touch the sky
Love a lot, paper view
Now's the time, make your move
[Post-Chorus]
Keep the money moving
As long as we are using
Almost without knowing
Getting ego's burning
Frightened they stop turning
See the judge adjourning
Play your part and don't get in their way
[Verse 2]
Black and White, they say you must believe
Now they found a sound that we obey
If you wait too long the tide will turn
Then there'll be some brand new rules to learn
[Chorus]
Almost there, you and I
Catch the fall, touch the sky
Love a lot, paper view
Now's the time, make your move
[Post-Chorus]
Read a million pages
Every headline ages
Nothing ever changes
There's a time for laughing
Time will soon be passing
Make your mark before you fade away
