When I was a boy   I sold a lie   Sold it to you   And all I wanted to say   "I wish you were here,   I wish it would rain now"      I'm hearing alarms   Ring in my ears   I'm caught in the sound now   The one thing I know   I couldn't recall   till I heard you say...      Put on your brakes   Lord, if I could just get through today   Put on your brakes   Sorry, but I just can't walk away      (Yeah)   This is your life   (Don't you cry)   'Cos it's alright   (As we dance)   For the last time      Sat on the road   Watching the cars   Sink in the reservoirs I know   It's just like you said   When all of the world   Is spinning inside your head and now      If I could run   The miracle mile   I'd run as the city's burning down   The one thing I know   I couldn't recall   Till I heard you say      Put on your brakes   Lord, if I could just get through today   Put on your brakes   Sorry, but I just can't walk away      (Yeah)   This is your life   (Don't you cry)   'Cos it's alright   (As we dance)   For the last time   (Yeah)   Come on, come on, saying      (Yeah)   This is your life   (Don't you cry)   'Cos it's alright   (As we dance)   For the last time   (Yeah)   You know, you know, yeah      (Yeah)   This is your life   (Don't you cry)   'Cos it's alright   (As we dance)   For the last time   (Yeah)
