I used to be somebody in the general scheme of things | |
I built myself a folly cause it looked like it had wings | |
Then I started to run from myself | |
I became someone else | |
I was running straight to hell | |
I said, you gotta help me now, it’s getting kinda strange | |
I can’t go on, somehow I’ve got to change | |
Whenever I reach for the night | |
You know it just aint right | |
Cos it’s a pretty scary sound | |
To hear your future running down | |
I thought I was a mirror, | |
looking down from a golden wall | |
Thought I was a killer, didn’t know nothing at all | |
I started to live in the dark | |
I lost sight of the spark | |
Then I was out of the ballpark | |
I said, you gotta help me now, | |
It’s getting kinda weird | |
I can’t go on somehow, I’ve got this fear | |
Now whenever I reach for the night | |
I know it just aint right | |
Cos it’s a pretty scary sound | |
To hear your future leaving town….. | |
I heard the answer from deep in my soul | |
You’ve got to warm up, keep out of the cold, | |
I heard the answer from inside my head | |
You got so many miles, can’t just end up dead, | |
Get rollin instead…. | |
Now my train can still sing along those silver rails | |
I’m wearing love’s ring and my heart is out of jail | |
The shadows scare no more, | |
I’ve come through tomorrow’s door | |
Cause today’s a whole lot more | |
I said, you’ve gotta take a chance, | |
don’t make no delays | |
You gotta join the dance, and make sure you stay | |
Then whenever you reach for the night | |
It just won’t feel right | |
You got so many miles | |
Get rollin instead |
I used to be somebody in the general scheme of things | |
I built myself a folly cause it looked like it had wings | |
Then I started to run from myself | |
I became someone else | |
I was running straight to hell | |
I said, you gotta help me now, it' s getting kinda strange | |
I can' t go on, somehow I' ve got to change | |
Whenever I reach for the night | |
You know it just aint right | |
Cos it' s a pretty scary sound | |
To hear your future running down | |
