"Dragonfly On Bay Street"

used to work as a messenger
spent my days riding elevators
in the heart of the business world
till one day there came a sign
in the form of a dragonfly on bay street

buzzing round from tower to tower
at the twilight of the working hour
had he taken a wrong turn?
was he lost without a trace?
just like us? dragonfly on bay street
in the crowd without a face
dragonfly on bay street

no fields for miles around as through the underground i go
what was it telling me it's better to be free or maybe nothing at all?

now i work in another field
spend my time keeping my eyes peeled
for a sign that'll lead me home
'cause lord i feel so out of place
just like that dragonfly on bay street
i'm lost without a trace
dragonfly on bay street
in the crowd without a face
dragonfly on bay street
it's all or nothing at all
