World On A String Lyrics - Healthy In Paranoid Times - Our Lady Peace

I see the world on a string 

It's hanging from a wire 

It gets tangled up and spun around 

Like the truth inside a liar 

Sometimes you wanna get high 

And sometimes you run and hide 

'Cause it eats you up and spits you out 

It swallows you alive 

[Chorus] 

When I'm down on my knees 

And it hurts to believe (I'm bleeding) 

You'll bring me back to life 

When there's no songs to sing 

And no flowers to bring (no feeling) 

And you'll bring me back to life 

And you'll bring me back to life

I see the world on a beach 

It's sinking in the sand 

Oh it tries to suck you down with it 

You better get out while you can 

Sometimes you wanna scream out 

And sometimes you just can't 

'Cause your lips 

Feel like they're glued together 

And no one gives a damn 

[Chorus] 

This is the world on a string 

There's no songs left to sing 

Just sing 

Sing

I see the good 

I see the bad 

The revolution 

I see the happy 

I see the sad 

The absolution 

I see hate 

And I see love 

When the world's on a string 

I see the good 

I see the bad 

The revolution 

I see the happy 

I see the sad 

The absolution 

I see hate 

And I see love 

When the world's on a string 

[Chorus] 

When I'm down on my knees 

And it hurts to believe (I'm bleeding) 

You'll bring me back to life 

When there's no songs to sing 

And no flowers to bring (No feeling) 

And you'll bring me back to life 

And you'll bring me back to life 

And you'll bring me back to life.
