I’ve been walking the straight line

I’ve been lookin at my life

When everything falls apart
When you make a false start and you
Can’t turn the pages and you
Can’t find the door when you’re
No bodies’ baby Not even close to pulling through
Main riff
Man… man…
Verse 2
We savour every hour
Hunger for the touch of money
Building crooked towers
On the floor plan…floor plan…
When I came running to you
I was following the life in a dead star
Chorus

Final section
We need a rope that will lead us down this endless path

We need a friend that will help us through this
Impossible task…whoaoooh
