Lyrics
1! 2! 3! 4!
Ye-ah!
No you can't throw failure
Over your shoulder
If you don't look after
Are you gonna look back?
No you can't hurry forward
Cause its holdin ya back
In the grip of an on-set
You run for a cover
To hide from your mother
And your sister, your brother
Though you long to tell
Of the stone that remains
You can't move a muscle
Cause you're wrapped up in chains
So you wait in your room
Bound to doom
To talk with the skeleton
In the closet
So you waited for days
And you walked in the maze
And you laid on your bed
With your head in a daze
And high in a corner
In a cupboard, on a shelf
You turn a corner
A'walk into your self
And you check your condition
And your shape and your health
So you open the door
With a look on your face
And your hands in your pockets
And your family to face
And you go downstairs
And you sit in your place
