Shine the light, I keep stumping into thin air
Ah-ah, feel so blind, I can't see my way clear
Ah-ah, take the pride, I won't feel a thing anywhere
Hmm-hmm, treacherous life, bury me to despair
You see
Once I had a vision, now I lost the meaning
Ah-ah, one I had a reason to be here
Keep on moving, one direction
Overtaking the slow
But if you can't keep pace with them
Make the race with them, nobody wants to know
If someone would just give me a chance
I'm sure, of taking control
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, I got nowhere to go
Hmm-hmm, cold at heart, nothing left I can sacrifice
Ah-ah, from the start nothing was ever right
You see I'm so pretty I get what I want
From the battery park to the top of the bronze
From the bottom of a bottle to the tip of tongue
A needle in a haystack with a needle in her arm
I got ways of means to the crack of the whip
Diabolical dreams when I make the trip
And you just step on, step on by
While I'm dying in the gutter out the corner of your eye
Once I had a reason to be alive
Keep on moving, one direction
Overtaking the slow
But if you can't keep up with them
Make their chore with them, nobody wants to know
If someone would just give me your hand
I'm sure, of taking control
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Keep on moving, one direction
Overtaking the slow
But if you can't keep pace with them
Take the race with them, nobody wants to know
Keep on moving, one direction
Overtaking the slow
But if you can't keep up with them
Take their chore with them, nobody wants to know
