But never hard to find
Out in the dark we are heroes
All in sync got it all worked out
But there's a button I've got my finger on
Ooh what a strange old time, the powder and the slide
The mind is shot and the body's fried
There's panic in my heart

Oh and all the times I feel it
Just tearing me apart
I can't hide from it all
I can't hide from it all
Ooh and all the times I need you
You're always so far away
But never hard to find
