Lyrics
0:27I was born in a pyramid
0:32By an old interstate
0:37Been down at the yard workin' my whole life
0:47To follow my father's dream
0:52Then watch it fade away
0:57Wrapped in our old tired skin
1:05Peelin' away
1:17All the flowers lately in our window lay in disarray
1:27The shadows are scattered like rings of gold
1:37And I'm watching the warm lights fade away
1:45Go now and love is leavin'
1:52Like a fadin' dream
1:58Callin' out in the darkest moments of our love
2:05For the rest of my days why let it linger
2:13Come along we're the same
2:15Let's suffer through the change
2:20Oh my God where do I belong
2:25Can I make it day to day
2:30I was all alonе at the startin' line
2:35When I watched you slip away
2:40Now I'm on the run baby and I don't know why
2:44But the fear it gets too much to take
2:50Doesn't matter just how hard you try
2:55When you feel so far away
2:58I'm talkin' of the old time
3:04Feeling dead this way
3:08Tired of the old life
3:14Feeling dead this way
3:21When you're lost and you're runnin'
3:23But the roads have changed
3:26And the forces surround you
3:28But you lost control
3:31And you think that nobody's walkin' by your side
3:36When you're lost in some valley
3:39Runnin' far behind
3:41Yeah you don't need nobody yeah
4:05Well there's a price for everything they'll try to kill you from the start
4:10So take control of anything that tries to pull us all apart
4:15I ain't sure of nothing babe 'til I can feel it in my heart
4:20So I keep movin' on
4:25Yeah keep holdin' on mm
4:35Yeah
I was born in a pyramid By an old interstate Been down at the yard workin' my whole life To follow my father's dream Then watch it fade away Wrapped in our old tired skin Peelin' away All the flowers lately in our window lay in disarray The shadows are scattered like rings of gold And I'm watching the warm lights fade away Go now and love is leavin' Like a fadin' dream Callin' out in the darkest moments of our love For the rest of my days why let it linger Come along we're the same Let's suffer through the change Oh my God where do I belong Can I make it day to day I was all alonе at the startin' line When I watched you slip away Now I'm on the run baby and I don't know why But the fear it gets too much to take Doesn't matter just how hard you try When you feel so far away I'm talkin' of the old time Feeling dead this way Tired of the old life Feeling dead this way When you're lost and you're runnin' But the roads have changed And the forces surround you But you lost control And you think that nobody's walkin' by your side When you're lost in some valley Runnin' far behind Yeah you don't need nobody yeah Well there's a price for everything they'll try to kill you from the start So take control of anything that tries to pull us all apart I ain't sure of nothing babe 'til I can feel it in my heart So I keep movin' on Yeah keep holdin' on mm Yeah
