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 him 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 him 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 him 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
