(Strings)

Everybody tries to slide down slowly

Everybody tries to pay their own way

Take it slowly to that space called sadness

Make it lonely, to the edge of the day

(Strings)

Everybody hits that highway runnin'

Flyin' here and there and God knows where

Never thinkin' 'bout the train that's comin'

Another passenger just rollin' away

(Strings)

(Strings)

(Strings) They hold us all forever

(Strings) They're all those songs we sing

(Strings) They join us all together

(Strings, strings, strings)

We come into this world with both eyes open

Then we leave this world with both eyes closed

In the middle is that space called madness

Hiding secrets deep where nobody goes

(Strings)

(Strings)

(Strings)

(Strings)

(Strings)

(Strings)

(Strings) They hold us all forever

(Strings) They're all those songs we sing

(Strings) They join us all together

(Strings, strings, strings)

(Strings)

(Strings)

(Strings) They hold us all forever

(Strings) They're all those songs we sing

(Strings) They join us all together, yeah, yeah, yeah

(Strings) Yeah, talk about, talk about, talk about, talk about strings

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

(Strings) They hold us all together, yeah, yeah, yeah

(Strings) Mmm, they're all those songs we sing
