[Chorus]
You've been traveling on the same road
Traveling on the same road
You’ve been traveling on the same road as me
[Verse 1]
Everyday I ride the freeway
With a million other souls
All shooting for the moon
But behind every pair of empty eyes
Is an emptier room
Sad, so sad (So sad, so sad)
Where are we going to?
Or are we going nowhere fast?
[Verse 2]
So today I drove into the city
In a big expensive car
I was trying to be cool
I thought it would make me a bigger man
But I'm just a bigger fool
Sad, so sad (So sad)
Knowing she's out there
I die a little bit (Oh no) each day (Oh no)
[Bridge]
When fear, bad coffee and lies and melancholy
Are just part of the working week
(Just part of the working week)
I go looking for love in the heart of the city
But I can’t even find a beat, no no
But the lawyers say "There is no law"
And the doctors say "There is no cure"
For this kind of loneliness hurts
Even the movers and the shakers
The only ones laughing are the undertakers
Fear, bad coffee and lies and melancholy
Suits and ties disguise the melancholy
[Verse 3]
Everyday I ride the freeway
With a million weary souls
Still shooting for the moon
It's like watching rosebuds die
Before they get to bloom
Sad, so sad (I'm sad, so sad)
I know you're out there (Somewhere)
Are you looking for someone too?
Someone too?
[Chorus]
We've been traveling on the same road
(I've gotta keep believing)
Traveling on the same road
(Believing that it's true)
You've been traveling on the same road as me
(Oh, God, it’s gotta be true)
You’ve been traveling on the same road as–
[Outro]
Fear, bad coffee and lies and melancholy
Just a part of the working week
Fear, bad coffee and lies and melancholy
Just a part of the working month
Fear, bad coffee and lies and melancholy
Just a part of the working year
Fear, bad coffee and lies and melancholy
Just a part of the working life
