[Verse 1]
I get by
One eye on the sky
But I can't put my finger on it
I want to cry, I'm out of my mind
Trying to figure it out
[Pre-Chorus]
Moderation
I can't have it
I don't want it
I want to touch it
[Chorus]

And I try to relate
[Post-Chorus]
Ah, ah, ah-ah, ah
Oh, oh, oh
Ah, ah, ah-ah, ah
[Verse 2]
I get by pushing poets aside
Cause they can't beat the Mother of Pearl
I quit the earth

[Pre-Chorus]
Moderation
I can't have it
I don't want it
I want to touch it
[Chorus]
Picture the party where you're standing on a modern age
I was in trouble with a habit of yеars
And I try to relate
To the mеss I made
[Bridge]
Tethered to a mess

Tethered to a mess

[Chorus]
Picture the party where you're standing on a modern age
I was in trouble with the habit of years
And I try to relate
[Outro]
Ah, ah, ah-ah, ah
Oh, oh, oh
Ah, ah, ah-ah, ah
Oh, oh, oh
Ah, ah, ah-ah, ah
Oh, oh, oh
Ah, ah, ah-ah, ah
Oh, oh, oh
Ah, ah, ah-ah, ah
Oh, oh, oh
Ah, ah, ah-ah, ah
Oh, oh, oh
Ah, ah, ah-ah
