Not a hostage, not a scapegoat Not a thing wrong, except you're cutthroat So get your hands up before the boat sinks 'Cause this ain't one for all, yeah, this is groupthink We got a ways to go, we need a stepping stone I guess we're on our own, ain't that a bitch, though?

If I have weaknesses Don't let them blind me Or camouflage all I am wary of I could be sailing on seizures of laughter Or crawling out from under the heel of love Do my prayers remain unanswered Like a beggar at your sleeve? Olodumare is smiling in heaven Smiling in heaven, I do believe Reach in the darkness A reach in the dark Reach in the darkness A reach in the dark To overcome an obstacle or an enemy To glide away from the razor or a knife To overcome an obstacle or an enemy To dominate the impossible in your life Always a stranger when strange isn't fashionable And fashion is rich people waving at the door Or it's a dealer in drugs or in passion Lies of a nature we've heard before Do my prayers remain unanswered Like a beggar at your sleeve? Babalu-aye spins on his crutches Says, "Leave if you want If you want to leave" Reach in the darkness A reach in the dark Reach in the darkness A reach in the dark To overcome an obstacle or an enemy To glide away from the razor or a knife To overcome an obstacle or an enemy To dominate the impossible in your life Reach in the darkness A reach in the dark Reach in the darkness A reach in the dark To overcome an obstacle or an enemy To dominate the impossible in your life Reach in the darkness A reach in the dark Reach in the darkness A reach in the dark

If you leave for Dallas, don't travel by the moon There are wolves out there that like the liars I'll be fine I'll get by, just like I've been known to do Though time to time my mind may run to you On the darker nights, you get me through 'Cause I've spent time on the wrong side of the church door And I've held hands with the devil in more than just one town And then by 40, the stories make you question me I hope by 40 I'm on the right side of the ground I'll build it up so high, only to fall back to the ground Like a thief you stole my heart without a sound So guide me down the darkest road you ever saw Maybe one day I may learn a better way to fall 'Cause I've spent time on the wrong side of the church door And I've held hands with the devil in more than just one town And then by 40, the stories make you question me I hope by 40 I'm on the right side of the ground In my dreams or somewhere that it snows North Dakota or maybe Ohio I need to leave but I cannot let go I don't know if I'll be fine, or better on my own 'Cause I've spent time on the wrong side of the church door And I've held hands with the devil in more than just one town And then by 40, the stories make you question me I hope by 40 I'm on the right side of the ground I pray by 40, I'm on the right side of the ground

Soft as light darker than dusk I don't need eternal life, I believe in us Hold the night in your hands I've been waiting for some time, I don't care how it ends It goes around, goes around like a fire in my head So quiet down, quiet down, you can hear me ascending Yeah, yeah, falling through the air, air, air All the saints of Notre Dame Will sing the tragedy of our song I wanna save us but it won't be long I hear, "Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah" All the saints of Notre Dame Will sing the tragedy of our song I wanna save us but it won't be long I hear, "Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah" It goes around, goes around like a fire in my head So quiet down, quiet down, you can hear me ascending It goes around like a fire in my head So quiet down, quiet down, you can hear me ascending On my chest reads Capulet The forest black, we wander to the edge I make you drink my tears They won't find you here It goes around, goes around like a fire in my head So quiet down, quiet down, you can hear me ascending Yeah, yeah, falling through the air, air, air All the saints of Notre Dame Will sing the tragedy of our song I wanna save us but it won't be long I hear, "Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah" All the saints of Notre Dame Will sing the tragedy of our song I wanna save us but it won't be long I hear, "Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah" It goes around, goes around like a fire in my head So quiet down, quiet down, you can hear me ascending It goes around like a fire in my head So quiet down, quiet down, you can hear me ascending
