Hands in line, Arms close to my side

I'm fighting tides of an ocean's undertows

And I figure I might not make it

{}

I'm taking empty, But seldom speaking

And the words retreat yeah they breathin histories still at ease

and the stories untold, And my arms unfold.

{}

My hands are high

{}

And I'm holding out, i'm holding on

And I figure that I, figure that I just might make it

{}

And I'm waking empty but seldom sleeping

And the words repeat breathing histories into stories untold

{}

brrrrr I, I unfold, oooh

{} {}

see now, my Quality is what you see now in the corner of your eye, say

{} {}

and Don't be surprised if you hear the bells ring, They form from the sky

{} {}

they sound bong, bong, bong, bong bah-dah, eyeah yeah yeah

{} {}

ah, brrra da bong, bong, bong, bong bad-dah , eyeah yeah yeah,

brrraaa oh my my, oh-whoa ohwhoa

because I figure that I, just figure that i just make it.

And I'm waking empty but seldom sleeping
