Fail Better

When you think the world is turning
At a different speed to you
And you write another list
Of things you'll probably never do

And you feel your dreams divided
By the median and mean
Your imagination drying
From a river to a stream

No matter, try again
Fail again, fail better
Everything is coming good
We're going our own way

No matter, try again
Fail again, fail better
Heaven is never closer
Never further away

And so on and on we go
Like a spinning barber's pole
Rising up on a shepherd's tone
Still together, still alone

We will walk across the embers
We will walk across the coals
We will walk the road from limbo
In recursion, on parole

No matter, try again
Fail again, fail better
Heaven is never closer
Never further away

No matter, try again
Fail again, fail better
Everything is coming good
Oh darlin' just you wait

Day breaker, rain maker
Boneshaker ever more
Keep failing main sailing
Myth making ever more
