THE LYRICS:
And you have lost
And in the end you paid the cost alive
You knew that you would shine
You have landed fine.
THE LYRICS:
You
landed safe and now you cry
You traveled long
Your balance awry
You landed steady without debt
But sinking's easy with the
High standards you've set
You're not done spinning yet.
Back
and forth and up and down
A thousand light years off the ground
Close your eyes and don't look down
You
twist and turn
Twenty-four
Your hands still scab
And your feet are sore
Chemical burn
Disorientation
Addition and subtraction
Of a relocation dive…
You swore that you would shine.
And you have lost
And in the end you paid the cost alive
You knew that you would shine
You have landed fine.
