Hands in line, Arms close to my side

 I'm fighting tides of an ocean's undertows

 And I figure I might not make it

{}

I'm taking empty, But seldom speaking

 And the words retreat yeah they breathin histories still at ease

 and the stories untold, And my arms unfold.

  {}

My hands are high

  {}

And I'm holding out, i'm holding on

 And I figure that I, figure that I just might make it

  {}

And I'm waking empty but seldom sleeping

 And the words repeat breathing histories into stories untold

  {}

brrrrr I, I unfold, oooh

  {} {}

see now, my Quality is what you see now in the corner of your eye, say

  {} {}

and Don't be surprised if you hear the bells ring, They form from the sky

  {} {}

they sound bong, bong, bong, bong bah-dah, eyeah yeah yeah

  {} {}

ah, brrra da bong, bong, bong, bong bad-dah , eyeah yeah yeah,

 brrraaa oh my my, oh-whoa ohwhoa

{}...{}...

high ah na ni, And I'm always holding up, and i hold...and i'm holdin' out this time

 because I figure that I, just figure that i just make it.

{}

And I'm waking empty but seldom sleeping

And the words repeat breathing histories into stories untold-brrrr I, I unfold
