Living life at ease

He tries to keep it straight

Filling all the cracks

Unlocking all the gates

Heart - Style - Grace

He gives a little back

Makes it very nice

Never runs away

Rolls his dirty dice

Everybody's got to do what they got to do

From him and her to me and you

Right or wrong, he keeps on movin' his own way

Likes to wear a surly frown

Even when it's the sunniest of days

Thinks he owns the world

Feels compelled, hates to tell anything about himself

Tryin' to find his reason why

Tryin' to make his way up off the shelf

Hypnotized by the planet's hum

Eyes fixed hard on a silent sun

There was a time he'd get out

Get out of his own way

Let it fly, let it ride in the face of dismay

Safe to say he'll try

Is he shy, is he crazed

Gossip knows its way around

Once it starts it builds a bomb of sight and sound

Fireworks light the sky

"Sorry!!" he shouts out loud

"I don't live my life so every one else can feel proud "

(chorus)

Give it all this time

Stop the waiting, lights are fading

Don't get left behind
