Freeze

Another day without a dream Without a hope, without a scheme Another day that finds you crawling on your knees You raise your face up to the sun You blow a kiss to kingdom come You say goodbye to everyone And then you Freeze What if your life was somehow changed Full of the wonderful and strange You run with Alice chasing rabbits into holes Your life was narrow, it was mean Now it's a technicolour dream Rainbows in your hair, and sparks fly off your soles No going forward or backward Glued are the old brothel creepers Dark are the thoughts that invade you Dark as the shades on your peepers Like a bird about to fledge Like the man out on the edge You walk right out to the ledge And then you Freeze You're standing up there and you found That it's a long way to the ground But the building's burning down But you just Freeze Easy to stand at the crossroads There've been so many before you A friendly breeze there might push you Make up your troubled mind for you You can't go forward can't go back You're stuck in neutral aren't you Mac? You never risked a hair upon your head before Sometimes it's good to say, What if? As you're standing on the cliff You're gonna find out in a jiff Unless you Freeze Where are the arms of that lover Where are the arms of that priest How can you tell if you're living If you never arm-wrestle the beast?
