Because it keeps on working

5. because it keeps on working

I want to lay down, but i got no home

is there a better place?

cast into the open, with nowhere else to go

i feel right now that i could rest my bones

or should i stay awake?

tired of going in circles, trying to stay alive

Because it keeps on working

don't make it right

I'll try anything, that could someow free me from

the ball and chain

if i can hold out, for i've nowhere else to run

or person to blame

i may be weary

but i'm on my feet again

i had a love that i could call my own

but i had no choice

who's afraid of nothing, must be clinging to the vine

Because it keeps on working

don't make it right

i raise my head high, and make a toast to the fallen saints

bless their souls

it's been a long ride, we've all endured some aches and pains

heaven knows

could have been easier

but misery loves me so

cast into the open with nowhere else to go

tired of going in circles, trying to stay alive

Because it keeps on working

don't make it right

Lots of understanding, no one gets enough

who's affraid of nothing, must be clinging to the vine

Because it keeps on working

don't make it right
