Lyrics

Sometimes I feel like I'm falling
Fall back again, fall back again
Fall back again, fall back again

Oh, life it seems a struggle between
What we see and what we do
Well I'm not going to change my ways
Just to please you or appease you
Inside a crowd, five billion proud
Willing to punch it out
Right, wrong, weak, strong
Ashes to ashes all fall down
Look around about this round about
This merry-go-round and around
Well if at all god's gaze upon us falls
It's with a mischievous grin, look at him

Forget about the reasons and
The treasons we are seeking
Forget about the notion that
Our emotions can be swept away
Forget about being guilty
We are innocent instead
For soon we will all find our lives swept away

Late at night with tv's hungry child
His belly swells
Oh, for the price of a coke or a smoke
Keep alive those hungry eyes
Take a look at me, what you see in me
Mirror look at me
Face it all again

Forget about the reasons and
The treasons we are seeking
Forget about the notion that
Our emotions can be kept at bay
Forget about being guilty
We are innocent instead
For soon we will all find our lives swept away

You seek up an emotion
And your cup is overflowing
You seek up on emotion
Sometimes your well is dry
You seek up a big monster
For him to fight your wars for you
But when he finds his way to you, the devil's not
Going, "ha ha, ha ha"

(Say, oh say)

Oh look at me in my fancy car
And my bank account
Oh, how I wish I could take it all down
Into my grave, god knows I'd save and save
Man, take a look again, take a look again
Things you have collected, well in the end piles up
To one big nothing, one big nothing at all

Forget about the reasons and
The treasons we are seeking
Forget about the notion that
Our emotions can be swept away
Intentions are not wicked, don't be tricked into thinking so
And soon we will all find our lives swept away

You seek up an emotion
And your cup is overflowing
You seek up an emotion
Sometimes your well is dry
You seek up a big monster
For him to fight your wars for you
But when he finds his way to you, the devil's not
Going, "ha ha, ha ha"

Fall back again, fall back again
Fall back again, fall back again
