When I offer you survival   You say it's hard enough to live   It's not so bad, it's not so bad   How do you know that you're right?      I awoke on the roadside   In the land of the free ride   And I can't pull it any longer   The sun is beating down my neck      So I ran with the devil   Left a trail of excuses   Like a stone on the water   The elements decide my fate   Watch it go   (Bling)      When I offer you survival   You say it's hard enough to live   Don't tell me that it's over   Stand up, poor and tired but more than this      How do you know that you're right   If you're not nervous anymore?   It's not so bad, it's not so bad      I feel my vision slipping in and out of focus   But I'm pushing on for that horizon   I'm pushing on   Now I've got that blowing wind against my face      So you sling rocks at the riptide   Am I wrong or am I right?   I hit the bottom with a huh   Quite strange, I get my glory in the desert rain   Watch it go   (I offer you survival!)      When I offer you survival   You say it's hard enough to live   And I'll tell you when it's over   Shut up poor and tired but more than this      How do you know that you're right   If you're not nervous anymore?   It's not so bad, it's not so bad      Higher and higher   We're gonna take it   Down to the wire   We're gonna make it   Out of the fire   Higher and higher      Higher and higher   We're gonna take it   Down to the wire   We're gonna make it   Out of the fire   Higher and higher      Higher and higher   We're gonna take it   Down to the wire   We're gonna make it out   Whoa, higher and higher      It ain't hard to hold   When it shines like gold   You'll remember me
