Lyrics of Traffic

Once upon a time
The world was just a message in a paper cup
Drifting the universe
It hitchhiked on the wind
Knocked on every door in every galaxy
Drifting around
Carefree completely
Taking its time
Keeping things easy

Look what's been done
The world's become like traffic in the sun
Traffic in the sun
Wake me up when all this traffic's finally gone
What have we done?

Once upon a time
The world was just a poet in a lover's mind
Dreaming of love
It didn't have no reasons
To build up walls and hide between them
Drifting around
Carefree completely
Taking it's time
Keeping love easy

Look what's been done
The world's become like traffic in the sun
Traffic in the sun
Wake me up when all this traffic's finally gone
What have we done?

What a great exchange
We've all turned into kings
We've trained that wild cat to sit at our feet
We've bottled up the nile
Sold it for a dime
Only problem is we lost exactly what we wanted to find

Look what's been done
The world's become like traffic in the sun
Traffic in the sun
Wake me up when all this traffic's finally gone
What have we done?

Look what's been done
The world's become like traffic in the sun
Traffic in the sun
Wake me up when all this traffic's finally gone
What have we done?
