The Same Old Song

Here's my prayer, I'm getting nowhere

I'm stepping up the stairs, but falling behind, oh...

I'm a one-man show that nobody knows

My body sure knows, I'm wondering why, oh...

I can't go on singing this song

That the angels will not hear

The world is a hole from all that I stole

But there is still a little love in here

Few things will last

I did it too fast, but I'm learning to cry

Don't be a stepping stone

Get it all out, deliver it

Here's my weep, I'm digging too deep

I do believe in lies, I've got everything to hide, oh...

I'm young, I'm old, I do what I'm told

Cut open, unfold, but there's nothing inside, oh...

I can't go on singing this song

That the angels will not hear

The world is a hole from all that I stole

But there is still a little love in here

Few things will last

I did it too fast, but I'm learning to cry

Hey child, you dance too loud

Here is your limit

No, I can't go on singing this song

That the angels will not hear

The world is a hole from all that I stole

But there is so much love in here

Few things will last

I did it too fast, but I'm learning to cry

Don't be a stepping stone

Get it all out, deliver it

Here's my plead, my never-ending repeat

I'm a circular cry-baby with no-one to trust

I'm restless and mad and anciently sad

If someone wants to kill me, go ahead, but make it fast
