It just isn't what you do - that - leads you where you are   Excuses I have heard - over - from you   If you really would you - might just have a chance   If you really could - you - might just have a hope   Your life - your song - isn't worth a damn   So go - escape - do the best you can      This place looks so familiar, you've been here before   Every little brick you know, you're back once more   Struggling hard to keep away, from this your private hell   Knowing it's no use to kry, escaping from this spell      All through the years, fighting to survive   Find yourself a manhole, and breathe to stay alive   All things that you could have done, pounding in your head   Now you're back where you belong, wishin' you were dead      All you want is to stay away   All you get are glints of the past   You know from this smell of decay   You know that you're back in the trash      And when the night comes, the gutter is your bed   And when the sun shines, you'll try to hide your head   There's just no help here, no one looks your way   There ain't no welfare, the question is: Will you survive the day?      You just can't ignore the fact, that you are sinkin' slow   Everyonr around you can see you've lost the glow   There's no point in actin', you can't hide it anymore   You're vulnerable to eyes, they look at you and you feel sore
