I don't know why
Or how long this will last
Maybe an hour?
My mind keeps circling
Round that hole in the sky
That they can't fill
I hoped there was an
Easier way
to grow up
Chime just like bell
Made of fire
Cast your hex and spells
Make this summer last forever
I’m emptying my heart
While you’re giving me two cold shoulders
I hoped there was an easy fix
Let's go back
Child-like innocence
And laughter
Swallowing the pills
Will this feeling last forever
I’m emptying my heart
While you’re giving me two cold shoulders

The Same Old Somersault
07:10
|
|||
One step forward, and one leap backwards
With no boots upon my feet
With no feet upon my legs
And no legs to middle meet
Though the road rise up beneath me
And whatever drives me on
Is a force I'll never comprehend
Until my life is gone
I greet each inch of progress
With the same old somersault
The precision of a gymnast
And no ownership of fault
Yet it's all a giddy spectacle
For those who stand and mock
This old tumbler giving polish
To this Sisyphean rock
I'm the slinky on the escalator
Ever on the run
For my eternal torment
Is your everlasting fun
x2
Highly strung, and all wound up, not
Knowing up from down and still
I will fight the uphill battle
Never going up the hill
Ever silent, ever slinking
Going silver 'fore my time
Face the same old situations
With the rhythm of a rhyme
I'm the slinky on the escalator
Ever on the run
For my eternal torment
Is your everlasting fun
x2
I'm a rainbow without colour
I'm a circle shy one half
I'm as bent as politicians
And as empty as your laugh
I'm a stoneless, boneless Skeleton
A feckless, reckless fool
And I turn in perfect unison
With one old world so cruel
I'm the slinky on the escalator
Ever on the run
For my eternal torment
Is your everlasting fun
x2
