Got a house full of fortune and they pay me in gold
|
For something I'd do for free.
|
But there's still something missing that a man can't hold,
|
It's like a weight over me, so scared the thrill will be gone.
|
But I'm the one who keeps the pressure on,
|
All I've got is all I need,
|
But I get no sleep and I'm tired to the bone......i know I'm not alone.
|
Well, I'm sick of walking 'round with blood in my eyes,
|
Just keeping up with this town.
|
I'm a roadrunner racing, but I don't see the signs,
|
I've got to learn to slow down.
|
My life makes it hard to complain,
|
But there's time I'd take my school days back again......four o'clock and I'm still counting sheep.
|
Love to change the system, but I'm in too deep.
|
I keep the pressure far away as I can,
|
But it still comes back again...
