[Verse 1]

It slipped my mind

And for a time

I felt completely free

A world of trouble

Silent double

A pawn unto a queen

[Chorus]

I laugh now

But later's not so easy

I've gotta stop

The will is strong

But the flesh is weak

I guess that's it

I've made my bed

And I'll lie in it

[Verse 2]

I'm still hanging on

Bird upon a wire

I fall between the waves

Ooooohhhhhhh

I avoid your gaze

I turn out of phase

A pawn unto a queen

Ooooohhhhhhh

[Chorus]

I laugh now

But later's not so easy

I've gotta stop

The will is strong

But the flesh is weak

I guess that's it

I've made my bed

And I'll lie in it

[Outro]

But it's eating me up

It's eating me up

It's eating me up (If I get free of all my snares and my nets)

It's eating me up (If I get free of all my snares and my nets)

It's eating me up (If I get free of all my snares and my nets)

Ooooohhhhhhh
