Every day, people sway    softly lulling me to sleep    I look the other way    but I still can't look too deep    I think I'll fall asleep    I think I'll fall asleep       So call up and tell him that you will survive    good looking kid with the velvet eyes    you and me and everything's gonna be fine       Every night, people fight    gently lulling me to sleep    what gives me the right    to waste away and weep    I think I'll turn away    there's nothing left to say       So call up and tell him that you will survive    good looking kid with the velvet eyes    you and me and everything's gonna be fine    so you wanna have everything your heart desires    there's a fist full of people with their hearts on fire    make your way on up to the front of the line       Get out of my way    I'm here now to stay    Get out of my way    I'm here now to stay       So call up and tell him that you will survive    good looking kid with the velvet eyes    you and me and everything's gonna be fine    so you wanna have everything your heart desires    there's a fist full of people with their hearts on fire    make your way on up to the front of the line
