Pariah dogs and wandering madmen

Barking at strangers and speaking in tongues

The ebb and flow of tidal fortune

Electrical changes are charging up the young

It's a far cry from the world we thought we'd inherit

It's a far cry from the way we thought we'd share it

You can almost feel the current flowing

You can almost see the circuits blowing

One day I feel I'm on top of the world

And the next it's falling in on me

I can get back on, I can get back on

One day I feel I'm ahead of the wheel

And the next it's rolling over me

I can get back on, I can get back on

Whirlwind life of faith and betrayal

Rise in anger, fall back and repeat

Slow degrees on the dark horizon

Full moon rising, lays silver at your feet

It's a far cry from the world we thought we'd inherit

It's a far cry from the way we thought we'd share it

You can almost feel the current flowing

You can almost see the circuits blowing

One day I feel I'm on top of the world

And the next it's falling in on me

I can get back on, I can get back on

One day I feel I'm ahead of the wheel

And the next it's rolling over me

I can get back on, I can get back on

It's a far cry from the world we thought we'd inherit

You can almost see the circuit growing

You can almost feel the planets glowing

One day I feel I'm on top of the world

And the next it's falling in on me

I can get back on, I can get back on

One day I feel I'm ahead of the wheel

And the next it's rolling over me

I can get back on, I can get back on

One day I fly through a crack in the sky

And the next it's falling in on me

I can get back on, I can get back on

Oh, I can get back on, I can get back on
