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
