Lyrics

Compulsion

Charm's in limited supply

And refusing to stretch

That indefinable nothing

Somehow keeps pushing you

Finding the right words

Can be a problem

How many times must it be said

There's no plan

It had to happen

Got to move on sometime

And it's about time

By putting one foot in front of another

And repeating the process

Cross over the street

You're free to change your mind

Strength through diversity

Couldn't have put it more plainly

Got to move on sometime

Got to move on sometime

Got to move on sometime

Got to move on sometime

Charm's in limited supply

Under threat of extinction

That indefinable nothing

Somehow motivates you

Finding the right words

Can be a problem

How many times must it be said

There's no plan

It had to happen

Got to move on sometime

And it's about time

By putting one foot in front of another

And repeating the process

Cross over the street

You're free to change your mind

Strength through diversity

Couldn't have put it more plainly

Got to move on sometime
