| Rise when the alarm abruptly sounds
|
| Hope that opportunity knocks
|
| Nemesis sow seeds of doubt
|
| Leaves me feeling shell-shocked
|
| (Shell-shocked)
|
| Confident I think I got it all figured out
|
| With help from osmosis
|
| Sift through the crap, hit the safety valve
|
| Then put on aegis
|
| Scream, race from the inferno
|
| Turn left? |
| Turn right? |
| Go straight?
|
| Which way do I go?
|
| As I grow older I lift this boulder
|
| With strength I chip it away
|
| Standing on the shoulders of giants
|
| Punching the sky everyday
|
| As life gets colder, flames they smolder
|
| Climb so I can survey
|
| Standing on the shoulders of giants
|
| Punching the sky everyday
|
| Nectar of the gods taste bittersweet
|
| Not out of the mire yet
|
| Got to be a badass to take the heat
|
| Not be saddled with mounting debt
|
| (Forget)
|
| Wolf appears with a nice wool coat
|
| Draws me in with a smile
|
| Rid myself of this spare change
|
| And that’s how I reconcile
|
| Scream, race from the inferno
|
| Turn left? |
| Turn right? |
| Go straight?
|
| Which way do I go?
|
| (I know)
|
| As I grow older I lift this boulder
|
| With strength I chip it away
|
| Standing on the shoulders of giants
|
| Punching the sky everyday
|
| As life gets colder, flames they smolder
|
| Climb so I can survey
|
| Standing on the shoulders of giants
|
| Punching the sky everyday
|
| (Punching the sky everyday)
|
| All these birds
|
| Are coming home to roost
|
| To fly in my face
|
| Or to maybe give me a boost
|
| Measure the man, the amount of grit
|
| Every ounce or send me adrift…
|
| Ain’t no thorn in my side
|
| I cannot expel
|
| Juggernaut of a stone moves well
|
| 'Cause I know
|
| As I grow older I lift this boulder
|
| With strength I chip it away
|
| (Chip it away)
|
| Standing on the shoulders of giants
|
| Punching the sky everyday
|
| (Punching the sky everyday)
|
| As life gets colder flames they smolder
|
| Climb so I can survey
|
| (I can survey)
|
| Standing on the shoulders of giants
|
| (Giants)
|
| Punching the sky everyday
|
| (Punching the sky everyday)
|
| Punch away
|
| Punch away
|
| Punch away
|
| Punch away
|
| Away |
