Over time
|
I’ve come to feel
|
That everything must come apart, it seems
|
From the little child
|
To the man of power
|
From the beggar to the angel of my dreams
|
From the thinnest thread
|
We are sewn together
|
From the finest string, we dangle over time
|
From the highest wire
|
Do we walk through fire
|
Should our balance ever falter, should our steps be unaligned
|
Such a big storm, yeah such a strong wind blowing
|
Such a loud voice calling for me to cross the line
|
But I’m not gonna give up the ghost
|
No, not gonna give up the ghost
|
I’m not gonna give up the ghost
|
No, not gonna give it up
|
'Cause I haven’t the strength
|
To hold out too long
|
If we both hold on together
|
We can make each other strong
|
(After all) we’re flesh 'n' blood
|
(After all) we’re flesh 'n' blood
|
(After all) we’re flesh 'n' blood
|
(After all) we’re flesh
|
(After all) we’re flesh 'n' blood
|
(After all) we’re flesh 'n' blood
|
(After all) we’re flesh 'n' blood
|
(After all) we’re flesh
|
Drop the mask
|
Take away the house
|
And forget about the income and the car
|
We’re all the same
|
Underneath our shell
|
We’ve all been to hell, and we know what it’s like
|
And we’ve shared each other’s sins
|
We all know what it’s like
|
To give up the fight
|
We’ve all been ashamed at one time or another
|
We all have dreams
|
And nightmares, too
|
When it all comes down, we’ll look out for each other
|
(No one else will)
|
But when I hear the call
|
When I feel the thirst
|
When the catcher comes to take my soul
|
He’s gonna have to fight me first
|
'Cause I’m not gonna give up the ghost
|
No, not gonna give up the ghost
|
I’m not gonna give up the ghost
|
No, not gonna give it up
|
'Cause I haven’t the strength
|
To hold out too long
|
If we both hold on together
|
We can make each other strong
|
(After all) we’re flesh 'n' blood
|
(After all) we’re flesh 'n' blood
|
(After all) we’re flesh 'n' blood
|
(After all) we’re flesh
|
(After all) we’re flesh 'n' blood
|
(After all) we’re flesh 'n' blood
|
(After all) we’re flesh 'n' blood
|
(After all) we’re flesh
|
Every cloud
|
Has a silver lining
|
And every soul is tender to the touch
|
We are made of stone
|
We are made of steel
|
And we’re all the same when we return to dust
|
But when I hear the call
|
Yeah, when I feel the thirst
|
When the catcher comes to take my soul
|
He’s gonna have to fight me first
|
'Cause I’m not gonna give up the ghost
|
No, not gonna give up the ghost
|
I’m not gonna give up the ghost
|
No, not gonna give it up
|
'Cause I haven’t the strength
|
To hold out too long
|
If we both hold on together
|
We can make each other strong
|
I’m not gonna give up the ghost
|
No, not gonna give it up
|
I’m not gonna give up the ghost
|
No, not gonna give it up
|
I’m not gonna give up the ghost
|
No, not gonna give it up
|
I’m not gonna give up the ghost
|
No, not gonna give it up |
