No you can't throw failure over your shoulder If you don't look after - you gonna look back No you can't hurry forward, it's holding you back In the grip of an onset you run for a cover To hide from your mother and your sister, your brother Through you long to tell of the stone that remains You can't move a muscle You're wrapped up in chains So you wait in your room - bound to the doom To talk with the skeleton in the closet
So you waited for days And you walked in the maze and you lay on your bed With your head in a daze And high in a corner in a cupboard on a shelf You turn a corner and walk into yourself And you check your condition And your shape and your health So you open the door with a look on your face, Your hands in your pockets and your family to face And you go downstairs and you sit in your place
