|
Over time i've come to feel |
|
That everything must come apart it seems |
|
From the little child to the man of power |
|
From the beggar to the angel of my dreams |
|
From the thinnest thread we are sewn together |
|
From the finest string we dangle over time |
|
From the highest wire do we walk through fire |
|
Should our balance ever falter |
|
Should our steps be unaligned |
|
Such a big storm yeah such a strong wind blowing |
|
Such a loud voice calling for me to cross the line |
|
Chorus |
|
But i'm not gonna give up the ghost |
|
No, not gonna give up the ghost |
|
I'm not gonna give up the ghost, no not gonna give it up |
|
'cause i haven't the strength to hold out too long |
|
If we both hold on together we can make each other strong |
|
After all we're flesh 'n' blood |
|
After all we're flesh 'n' blood |
|
After all we're flesh 'n' blood |
|
After all we're flesh |
|
After all we're flesh 'n' blood |
|
After all we're flesh 'n' blood |
|
After all we're flesh 'n' blood |
|
After all we're flesh |
|
Drop the mask take away the house |
|
And forget about the income and the car |
|
We're all the same underneath our shell |
|
We've all been to hell and we know what it's like |
|
And we've shared each other's sins |
|
We all know what it's like to give up the fight |
|
We've all been ashamed at one time or another |
|
We all have dreams and nightmares too |
|
When it all comes down we'll look out for each other |
|
(no one else will) |
|
But when i hear the call when i feel the thirst |
|
When the catcher comes to take my soul |
|
He's gonna have to fight me first |
|
Chorus |
|
Every cloud has a silver lining |
|
And every soul is tender to the touch |
|
We are made of stone, we are made of steel |
|
And we're all the same when we return to dust |
|
But when i hear the call when i feel the thirst |
|
When the catcher comes to take my soul |
|
He's gonna have to fight me first . . . |
|
Chorus out |
