The sequence of twisted turns
That can't be undone
Long have I waited here
For nothing to come
The sequence of twisted turns
That can't be undone
[Outro]
But you hurt yourself trying

But you hurt yourself trying
But you hurt yourself trying
But you hurt yourself trying
But you hurt yourself trying
But you hurt yourself trying
But you hurt yourself trying
