[Verse 1]

Every street is

Dark and folding out mysteriously

Where lies the chance we take to be

Always working

Reaching out for a hand that we can't see

[Chorus]

Everybody's got a hold on hope (Hold on hope)

It's the last thing that's holding me

[Verse 2]

Invitation to the last dance

Then it's time to leave

Well, that's a price we pay (A price we pay)

When we deceive

One another (One another)

Animal mother (Animal mother)

She opens up for free

[Chorus]

Everybody's got a hold on hope (Hold on hope)

It's the last thing that's holding me (Last thing)

[Refrain]

Look at the talk box, mute frustration

At the station there hides the cowboy (Ah-ah-ah-ah)

[Instrumental Break]

[Refrain]

Look at the talk box (Look at the talk box)

Mute frustration (Mute frustration)

At the station there hides the cowboy (Ah-ah-ah-ah)

A campfire flickering on a landscape

That nothing grows on, time still goes on

And through each life of misery

[Chorus]

Everybody's got a hold on hope (Hold on hope)

It's the last thing that's holding me (It's the last thing)

Hold on hope (Hold on hope)

Everybody's got a hold on hope (If I can hold on hope)

It's the last thing that's holding me (Last thing)

Hold on hope (Hold on hope, hold on hope)

Everybody's got a hold on hope (Hold on hope)

It's the last thing that's holding me, oh (Last thing)
