Every day, people sway,
Softly lulling me to sleep.
I look the other way.
But I still can’t look too deep.
I think I’ll fall asleep,
I think I’ll fall asleep.
So call up and tell em that you will survive,
Good looking kid with the velvet eyes.
You and me and everything’s gonna be fine.
Every night, people fight.
Gently lulling me to sleep.
What gives me the right,
To waste away and weep.
I think I’ll turn away,
There’s nothing left to say.
So call up and tell em that you will survive,
Good looking kid with the velvet eyes.
You and me and everything’s gonna be fine.
So you wanna have everything your heart desires.
There’s a fist full of people with their hearts on fire.
Make your way on up to the front of the line.
Get out of my way,
I’m here now to stay.
Get out of my way,
I’m here now to stay.
So call up and tell em that you will survive,
Good looking kid with the velvet eyes.
You and me and everything is gonna be fine.
So you wanna have everything your heart desires.
There’s a fist full of people with their hearts on fire.
Make your way on up to the front of the line.
