A harrowing drive on the Schuylkill Expressway
(route 76) both heading into

exiting) center city Philadelphia

At the weekends...no noise and life, 
I like solitude, 
But not in places 
Where's there's recently been

From nostalgia, 
And you can...

Obfuscation, we like obfuscation
Obfuscation, the game we like to play
When you muddle and confuse, then you simply cannot lose,
Complicate, obfuscate, 
Oh, oh, oh, oh

Obfuscation, we like obfuscation
Obfuscation, the...

Blinded by vanity 
a king has no hope, only a pugilistic mind. 
He speaks his urbane opinions carelessly 
berating all others; he leaves their broken hearts behind. 
Since he himself has no hope, he crushes...

A thunderous rumbling, 
lightning flashing 
all within my troubled brain,
I wander in a daze, 
afraid of crashing.
The cause is plain,

In joy and Sorrow,

After you have done more than a few,
Faster and faster;
A major disaster;
