Lyrics

I HAVE TRAVELLED MANY YEARS NOW
MET MANY ALONG THE WAY
STOKING FIRES AND PASSING SPIRES
AND NEVER IN ONE PLACE
AND I'VE HEARD YOU'D LIKE TO SIT ASIDE A WHILE
AND I'M SURE I KNOW YOUR FACE
BUT SHE JUST WONT STOP AND I CAN'T GET OFF
AND NEVER IN ONE PLACE

WELL I HAVE SEEN YOU FROM A DISTANCE
IMAGINE THE LIFE THAT WE LEAD
BUT I SUSPECT THAT THIS LIFE TO YOU
MIGHT NOT BE SO VERY SWEET

CHORUS - BUT IF YOU THINK YOU CAN DO THIS 
THEN CLIMB ON BOARD TODAY
AND HOLD ON

I HAVE HEARD THAT ONCE BESIDE US
YOU MIGHT EVEN TAKE US ON
WELL FINE, JUST REMEMBER
I'VE FOUGHT HARSHER SOULS THAN YOU AND STILL HELD ON
STAY BESIDE ME, AND I'LL HOLD YOUR LIFE WITH MINE
BUT I'LL SPIT YOUR BLOOD OUT OF MY MOUTH
BEFORE I LET YOU TAKE US DOWN

SO HOLD ON

AND I HAD A DREAM LAST NIGHT
AND MY CLOTHES WERE VERY FINE
AND THE PEOPLE LOOKED AT ME
AND I WAS CAPABLE
AND I FOUND THAT I ENJOYED WEALTH AND POWER VERY MUCH
AND I WONDERED
WHAT HAD EVER MADE ME THINK THAT I WOULD NOT
THEN I WOKE UP
STILL ROLLING ON

AND AS THE MORNING CAME SHARPER
THAN THE MEMORY OF THE DREAM
I LOOKED TO MY SIDE AND THOUGHT
WELL IN THIS WORLD 
I KNOW WHO LOVES ME

SHE JUST WONT STOP
AND I CAN'T GET OFF
AND NEVER IN ONE PLACE

WE'VE NOT STOPPED FOR SO LONG LOVE
THAT MOVING NOW SEEMS STILL
I'D LIKE TO TAKE YOU AWAY
WHERE WE COULD PUT OUR FEET UPON THE GROUND
AND THAT FEEL RIGHT
AND WE'D TOAST OUR GOOD FORTUNE
THAT WE SUIT EACH OTHER SO WELL

BUT DESPITE HOWEVER HARD I TRY
PEOPLE KEEP FALLING THROUGH THE CRACKS
GETTING CAUGHT UP IN THE WHEELS
LYING ON THE TRACKS

BUT ALL THE SMILING FACES
THEY SEEM GLAD TO SEE US
MOST TAKE SOMETHING
AND SOME ARE GLAD TO SEE US LEAVE 
THOUGHT IT SOMETIMES BRINGS ME SADNESS
I MISSED ALL THE IMPORTANT DAYS
THOUGH I SENSE THAT MY FAMILY
WOULD PREFER NOT TO SEE ME
IF THEY CAN HEAR THAT I'M OK


BUT DESPITE HOWEVER HARD I TRY
PEOPLE KEEPS FALLING THROUGH THE CRACKS 
GETTING CAUGHT UP IN THE WHEELS
LYING ON THE TRACKS 
FINDING SECRETS IN THE CHAOS
FELLING THINGS THAT YOU DIDN'T WANT TO FEEL
FINDING THINGS ABOUT YOUR MIND
WHICH YOU THOUGHT YOU'D NEVER FIND
FINDING THINGS ABOUT THEIR MINDS WHICH
THEY THOUGHT YOU'D NEVER FIND BUT

YOU THINK YOU CAN DO THIS AND KEEP UP THIS VIBE?
YOU THIN YOU CAN DO THIS AND NOT LOSE YOUR WIFE?
YOU THINK YOU CAN DO THIS AND NOT GO INSANE?
YOU THINK YOU CAN DO THIS AND TRY AND STAY HUMANE?

GOTTA GOTTA STAY HUMAN
