There’s a mime on the corner, feeling like a goner
He really don’t know what he got
It’s the same situation, he was always into guessing
Don’t believe the things that you’re not
But if you don’t try to make it, only try to fake it
you might find that your dreams start to rot
All your friends are calling me for answers
They really want to know where you got
So many people are peeking in the keyhole
Try just to stay in love a lot
Got the power of the hour
The motion in the ocean,
If they bend it might cause a commotion
Swing for the fences,
There are no second chances
Just standing here in the dark
There’s a fake corporation taking all the bacon
Leave us shivering and shaking, it’s true
So many people, standing in the steeple
Seeking their answers from you
I got led by the dead who said to follow them instead
They take what they need and need to be taking
they’re sucking all the love from the room
Shaking and your shivering, shoveling the ignorance
Feeling like you gave up too soon
Well the line it was drawn, not to be too vicious
Could never understand, but i’m doing the dishes
It’s a cold situation when we leave it in the station
Guard’s got his eye on you
Now we gotta move on, get around the corner
And figure out something new
Well, maybe I was living
Maybe just surviving
I might be a junky for the truth
So many people peeking in the keyhole
just to stay in love with you
Got the power of the hour
The motion in the ocean,
If they bend it might cause a commotion
Swing for the fences,
There are no second chances
Just standing here in the dark
There’s a fake corporation taking all the bacon
Leave us shivering and shaking, it’s true
So many people, standing in the steeple
Seeking for their answers from you
Everybody fissures, got new divisions
They just want to know what to do
I got led by the dead that said to follow them instead
They take what they need and need to be taking
they’re sucking all the love from the room
It’s a cold situation in another station
No choices left for us to choose
Shaking and your shivering, shoveling the ignorance
Feeling like you gave up too soon
But i’ll be right here, and I'll be standing tall
I’ll be right here, when you're feeling small
