Lyrics

Verse
Living in a neurotic world
I can?t tell if the glass is half empty or half full
Looking for hidden pearls
Doing my best out there running with the bulls
Chorus
And every time I think that I just might be getting ahead
This world runs me down and I am left me for dead.
Verse
Living life neurotic supreme
I Can?t figure out what anything means
Running from the bears in my dreams
Acting it out and living life scene by scene
Chorus
And every time my hopes are high and it looks like I?m getting ahead
This world runs over me and leaves me for dead
Just one big hit and I know I?ll be rolling in bread
Bridge
At times it feels like my life is racing out of control
There?s a constant battle that rages way down in my soul
If I can get some distance, no more path of least resistance
Well then I know that there?s a way to come back from yesterday
Chorus
And every time my hopes are high and I just might be getting ahead
This world runs me down and I am left for dead
Just one big hit and I know I?ll be rolling in bread
Bridge
At times it feels like my life is racing out of control
There?s a constant battle that rages way down in my soul
If I can get some distance, no more path of least resistance
Well then I know that there?s a way to come back from yesterday
Verse
Searching for the neurotic cure
I need to take a hard look and find out just what I?m living for
Redemption is never sure
Hey I need a break and sometimes less is more
And every time my hopes are high and I think I?m getting ahead
This world runs over me and leaves me for dead
Just one big hit and I know I?ll be rolling in bread
