It's Only Life

Dyed in the wool, you've been cornered by a natural desire

You want to hop along with the giddy throng through life

But how will you learn to steer when you're grinding all your gears?

You've been talking for hours

You say, "Time will wash every tower to the sea"

And now you've got this worry in your heart

Well, I guess it's only life, it's only natural

We all spend a little while going down the rabbit hole

The things they taught you, they're lining up to haunt you

They've got your back against the wall

Call you on the telephone

Won't you pick up the receiver?

I've been down the very road you're walking now

It doesn't have to be so dark and lonesome

It takes a while, but we can figure this thing out

And turn it back around

You used to be such a lion

Before you got into all this crying on my lap

Back when you thought I'd never get this far

But did you really think I'd shut an open door?

The future's calling and I'ma answer

The wheel's in motion

I never drank your potion

And I know it breaks your heart

Open up your parachute

Something's got to stop the free-fall

I've been down the very road you're walking now

It doesn't have to be so dark and lonesome

It takes a while, but we can figure this thing out

And turn it back around
