  • The night came down, jungle sounds were in my ears
    City screams are all I've heard in twenty years
    The razor's edge of night, it cuts into my sleep
    I sit upon the edge now
    Should I make that leap?

    I'm the Omegaman
    I'm the Omegaman

    The sky's alive with turned on television sets
    I walk the streets and seek another vision yet
    The echo makes me turn to see that last frontier
    The edge of time closes down as I disappear

    I'm the Omegaman
    I'm the Omegaman
    I'm the Omegaman
    I'm the Omegaman
    Always talking to myself
    Oh

    The time that's best is when surroundings fade away
    The presence of another world cOmes close to me
    It's time for me to throw away this paper knife
    I'm not alone in reaching for a perfect life

    I'm the Omegaman
    I'm the Omegaman
    I'm the Omegaman
    I'm the Omegaman

    I'm so tired
    Of the Omegaman
    I'm so tired
    Of the Omegaman
    I'm so tired
    Of the Omegaman
    I'm so tired
    Of the Omegaman
    I'm so tired
    Of the Omegaman
    I'm so tired
    Of the Omegaman
    I'm so tired

  • Sage from MichigSoylent Green had nothing to do with climate change.
  • David from UsaOmegaman means the last man. I don't think it's referring to hierarchy, but to the end of the world.
  • Mp from Australia I agree as I thought it was about the Charlton Heston movie Omega Man also. Should we seek a second opinion? :)
  • Jim from UsaI'm surprised by the "Soylent Green" (1973) reference since I figured it would be about "The Omega Man" (1971) if anything. Too obvious?

    Good track, either way. It gets you thinking about the future.
