Lyrics

[Verse 1]
When I was just a boy
My momma told me, "son
You look so serious"
(Smile and have fun")
When I was seventeen
My father let me know
Life isn't fun and games
(Gotta sell your soul)
[Verse 2]
I don't know how I ended up
So close to where I started
I went to war for peace of mind
What was it for?
[Verse 3]
I'm dancin' on a tightrope
No time to mess around, oh
Just tryin' to let my mind go
I'm never comin' down
[Verse 4]
I found a preacher man
To help me understand
What we are doin' here
(What comes after life?)
And now the years of passed
Been to the moon and back
And all I've realized
No one knows a thing
[Verse 5]
I don't know how I ended up
So close to where I started
I went (You went) to war for peace of mind
But what was it for?
[Verse 6]
I'm dancin' on a tightrope
No time to mess around, oh
Just tryin' to let my mind go
I'm never comin' down
[Verse 7]
I'm never comin' down
I'm never comin' down
[Verse 8]
Teachers always say, "stay in between the lines"
Momma said, "be quiet if you can't say somethin' nice"
Doctor's always say, "take these pills for your health"
But now I an't remember how to think for myself
[Verse 9]
I'm dancin' on a tightrope
No time to mess around, oh
Just tryin' to let my mind go-ah
I'm never comin' down
[Verse 10]
I'm never comin' down
I'm never comin' down
