Died in the world, you've been cornered by a natural desire
|
You want to hop along with the giddy throng through life
|
But how will you learn to steer when you're grinding all your gears?
|
|
You've been talking for hours
|
You say time will wash every tower to the sea
|
And now you've got this worry in your heart
|
|
Well I guess it's only life, it's only natural
|
We all spend a little while going down the rabbit hole
|
The things they taught you, they're lining up to haunt you
|
You got your back against the wall
|
I call you on the telephone, won't you pick up the receiver?
|
|
I've been down the very road you're walking now
|
It doesn't have to be so dark and lonesome
|
It takes a while but we can figure this thing out
|
And turn it back around
|
|
You used to be such a lion
|
Before you got into all this crying on my lap
|
Back when you thought I'd never get this far
|
|
But did you really think I'd shut an open door?
|
The future's calling and Imma answer her
|
The wheels in motion, I never drank your potion
|
And I know it breaks your heart
|
Open up your parachute, something's gotta stop the freefall
|
|
I've been down the very road you're walking now
|
It doesn't have to be so dark and lonesome
|
It takes a while but we can figure this thing out
|
And turn it back around
|
