| 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 |
