When the clouds of doubt surround you. And there's no relief in sight. When nothing you do holds a meaning. But you can't give up the fight. . You think of the good things that might be in store.
I only do these things to freak you out. Wanted you to doubt me. Well, I believe you, do I believe you?. . I try to block you out to hear myself. I can't believe I'm thinking to myself.
Do you know where you're going?. Do you know where you've been?. Is this simple, is this simple?. The chances seemed so slim. . In a cloud, is it cloudy?.
Im watching you walk. As you walk that distant way. Take that thing away from me. Take away most everything. . I couldn't say Id blame you. But you should never look in back.
Your daydream's aren't forever. Better get your shit together. For a new game. . Back to your hometown. Back to your day job. Back to your girlfriend.
Don't give up. Don't give up. Don't let go. Don't give up. Don't let go, don't let go. Don't let up. . In your bed. Don't give up. Don't let go. Don't give in.
You think you've made it to the top 'cause people know your name. Still the same. . Your daydreams are forever, you better get your shit together for a new game.
Don't participate, be lethargic. You're a hypocrite, you're the target. . You've seen it all before. You think it's passe. You listen to the same fucking records.
Here's the town we live in. This is how the band lays out. I bought a map. So I could find my way around, way around. . Taped the map on the wall. Studied every avenue.
There were trails of fallen trees. Deciduous and weeding marsh. The lowland birds and crickets roared. The final sound of fall. . Along the banks of the river.
I started out so starry-eyed. Full of hope and wonder. And I wore flowers in my hair. Not aware I'd been defiled. (Every time I see you) I know it's going down.
And I know now, and you know as well. So we're not alone. Took this long to recognize. Took so long to analyze. Bring it round around again. . I know we're at the end.
This fever on my mind, I'm burnin' down inside. My luck may never change or so it seems that way. I know in seven years this curse will disappear. Where has my ladder gone? I feel like I've been robbed.
