Now everybody's looking after me

If I'm dragging by some coat tail, I can't see, it's too dark

But I've got to know what's got the best of me

When the circus that you left goes on parade

In those bleacher seats of fire in your charades, it's too far

But I'm feeling like I don't dare look away

Don't look away

Did it almost make you feel that something's gotta happen soon?

When you wake up feeling lost in your own room

If you're crying in your beer you're gonna drown

If you think we'll rise above, you better look around, you'll see

It's a mountain made of sand crumbling under me

Maybe I'm chasing shadows on your wall

They loom so large but make me feel so small somehow

When you're chasing your own tail, spinning your own wheels

Dan: On a night when the wolves were all silent, and the moon howled

Dave: And I tried to leave, and I tried to stay, tried everything, tried looking away

Did it almost make you feel that something's gotta happen soon?

You're in the movies now and I'm in your cartoon

There's a ringing in my ear that's heaven-sent

There's a beast out on the ruins

Some broken down lover's lament

It goes on and on but it won't go away
