Up and up and up I climb   When I came up I was so far behind   My head takes a lickin' but my heart keeps on tickin' just the same   Always startin' over but somehow I always know where to begin      Round and round and round I ride   And just when I looked I hadn't even began   To feel the effect, a cool, dark fever on the brain   That feelin' takin' over, like a holy roller coaster to the grave      How can I await the day   The last the night I'm here to see   How do I await the mother lode   It's the art of feelin' naked in your clothes      Again, again, again I tried   That's how I knew I would never be denied   That face in the mirror who could it be, it was my own   That cool, dark figure, that's when I knew I was alone      On and on and on I drive   When will I know I've finally arrived   So far I've gone, so far to go it never ends   Always startin' over but somehow I always know where to begin   Always startin' over but somehow I always know where to begin   Always startin' over but somehow I always know where to begin
