All these things I send out to you Come bouncing off you, and then right back to me And this repeats itself so needlessly, oh!
VERSE ONE I daren't have fights with a brick wall I take two steps forward Or I do not move at all Staying in one place, forever and ever and ever You're holding me in dirty hands First I'm in there, but I don't belong at all I'm back banging my head on that old brick wall I see signs warning me to read the ways more carefully For I could keep treading on you, forever, forever
VERSE TWO At the end of all this What do I get Well my nerves start to shake Cos it ain't started yet And it comes right back and touched my hands Time to change my plans Everyone says, oh, let go, but my fingers are steel And my hands say no I can't keep fighting with you, forever, forever Once in awhile, the sky seems near And I look up and it all falls down I can't win fights with a brick wall I have to break it down or I do not fight at all Stay in one place forever And the whole place starts going, aahh!
VERSE THREE I'm standing here with dirty hands Something tells me that I don't belong here at all I'm back banging my head on that old brick wall At the end of all this, what do I get Well, I feel so afraid cos it ain't started yet And it comes right back on dirty hands, oh! Everyone says, oh, let go, but my fingers are steel And my hands say no And I tell you I could keep hanging on here forever Oh, oh, oh, oh, I, I, I, I, I, I, oh, oh, oh, oh!
