Lyrics

You say you're able, you say you're able to get by
Familiar labels, but you & I know it's a lie?down
Lie down when you're feeling low

You feel the craving
You feel the need burn up inside
You hear your family,
You've made your bed now you must lie down
Lie down when you're feeling low

& when you're feeling angry
You could make somebody die
& when you're feeling hungry
?Cause you've got nothing deep inside
But when you're feeling happy
Because you're up there on the high

I've got a need, I've got a need deep down inside
I've been deceived by my own greed
But I don't mind.
I've got to fight, I've got the right to save myself
No one can help, it's up to me, nobody else

Chorus:

& when she takes me by the arm
& leads me back to the bed
& I can feel all her mystic charms
As they're spinning around in my head

I've got a fear, I've got a fear that's wrapped around
It's taken years, it's taken years to figure out
My only chance, my only way is underlined
I've gotta change, I've gotta change now to survive

Repeat Chorus

Recycled hatred from the guilt of years gone by
A faith in living,
The birth of which now you have ground out
Ground out of feeling low

In Crouch Hill you keep your eyes down
Eyes down when you're feeling low

& when you reach the surface
Forgotten sun that burns your eyes
Where you can reap the surplus
The clichéd limit is the sky
But when you're feeling happy
Because you're up there on the high
Because you're up there on the high
