One way streets and square one

Answers don't come from any one direction

Not a care in the world, no better way to go

It's fine here watching it go down

Half the trouble's in the asking

And I know you're not the kind to wait around

Taking chances with no intent to make a killing

Too much living is no way to die

Loose string

Find the pieces don't fit in

Loose string

Coming up for air again and again

Loose string

Too much living is no way to die

See the ground sinking 'round

Tomorrow is a card to play

Same old words heard in storms

Repeated doom, too many rules

It will bleed you dry

Half the trouble's in the asking

And I know you're not the kind to wait around

Taking chances with no intent to make a killing

Too much living is no way to die

Loose string

Find the pieces don't fit in

Loose string

Coming up for air again and again

Loose string

Too much living is no way to die

Said you haven't seen it all

You just keep on searching

For just one single reason

Half the trouble's in the asking

And I know you're not the kind to wait around

Taking chances with no intent to make a killing

Too much living is no way to die

Loose string

Find the pieces don't fit in

Loose string

Coming up for air again and again

Loose string
