Superglue

Striving to sing a symphony of symmetry
Struggle-free leaves you seeing all kinds of strain
Limbs are limp, and we limp while on the wall
We're about to fall, we stand small with our growing pains
I've been shedding skin, vital vitamins
But the ebb and flow of your one-man show
Is a fight I know

We can't run marathons alone
With muscles turning to stone, allez, allez, allez
Shout help when we can't speak hello
When I look at you, I see that superglue
And I wish I knew, one two three go!

Loneliness, I confess, is quite a stress
And it's more or less, more or less a mile-high fence
You don't want to disturb, with noun or verb
But I'm not deterred, you will never cause me offence
I've been shedding skin, vital vitamins
Don't let yourself go, Mr Stipe's memo
Taught me all I know

I, oh I, I try to fight the lactic acid
Freezing up, I'm seizing up, my thoughts are rapid
I, oh I, I try to fight the lactic acid
Freezing up, I'm seizing up, my thoughts are rapid
I, oh I, I try to fight the lactic acid
Freezing up, I'm seizing up, my thoughts are rapid
Oh oh oh I, oh I, I try to fight the lactic acid

We can't run marathons alone
With muscles turning to stone, allez, allez, allez
Shout help when we can't speak hello
When I look at you, I see that superglue
And I wish I knew
