Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Distorted
Yeah, that's how everybody lives
Pushed around and around
Till you're all fucked up
I'm certain
That's not the way I'm going down
'Cause me?
I'm tryna get unstuck
[Chorus]
Would you like to live in a dream
And be better off than you seem?
Well, baby, it's showtime
You'd better button up your vest
We may be polished and pristine
But we crash the same you see
That's life
I'm only going through it once
Or maybe twice will do
[Chorus]
Ooh
Ooh
[Verse 2]
I've been controversial, honey
I've been Christ on high
I've been a needle in a haystack
I've sucked teardrops from
The devil's eyeballs
Why oh why do you keep trying?
What's with all the fear of flying?
It's changing, so, baby
Let it go
I'm only asking you to
[Bridge]
Lay me down where the well water glows
I'll climb back up, going brick by toe and
Have mercy, I'm out into the world again
Wake me up when the well water glows
Wake
Me up
I'll climb back up
Baby, brick by toe and
By toe
Have mercy, I'm out into the world again
Ah
[Bridge]
Woo!
Ooh
Ooh
[Chorus]
And I've been riding this wave
Ooh
A little bit longer than I should
I'm just a person
Ooh
Standing ten toes down
I know I said I'd never change
Ooh
But my memory has never been that good
That's life
Ooh
We're only going through it once
Or maybe twice will do
