I FELL 1000 TIMES FOR SHANGRI-LA
I NEVER MADE IT TO THE BOTTOM BUT IT'S QUITE A FALL

NOW YOU'RE IN ARM'S REACH BUT YOU'RE SUCH A SIEVE
AS YOU TAKE, TAKE, TAKE MY WILL TO GIVE

IT ALL UP, UP, UP AND AWAY
TO PRAY YOUR ASHES & DUST BY THE RIVER IN MAY

BY THE LIGHT OF SOME CHARCOAL SPRING AFTERNOON
WHILE YOU GET CONFUSED BY THE SUN AND THE MOON

THE ANGELS & DEVILS, THE GOOD & BAD
BUT YOU LIVE SO GREY IT DRIVES YOU MAD

SO YOU'RE LEFT WITH ONE IMPROBABLE CHOICE
CAN YOU DRIVE IN THE BLACK BUT STILL KEEP YOUR VOICE

YEAH I KNOW THAT I COULDN'T, I HAD NO CHOICE
CAUSE I FELT WHAT'S IMPORTANT
SO I SCRAP BOOKED THAT & WROTE IT DOWN
I GUESS I'M JUST ANOTHER CLOWN
WHO TRIES TO MAKE YOU LISTEN WHILE I PLAY

I'VE GOT MY KNEES ON THE ALTAR & MY HANDS ON YOU
& FORGIVENESS COMES THE NEXT FULL MOON

NOW IT'S NOON, IT'S FOUR, IT'S TOMORROW MORNING
AND THESE FOOTSTEPS SHOULD'VE COME WITH A WARNING

TO OPEN YOUR EYES & OPEN THE BLINDS
THERE'S NO SUCH THING AS ONE LAST TIME

SO WHEN YOUR HEADLIGHTS HIT THE BODIES ON DEAD MAN'S CURVE
TAKE SOME GOOD ADVICE AND TRY TO SWERVE

CAUSE YOUR PROMISES ARE CHEAPER THAN ME
& I LIE LIKE AN IMPULSE ON A DESPERATE STREET

AS I COUNT THE BULLETS & SPIN THE CHAMBER
CAN I WALK PRISTINE & STILL KEEP THE ANGER

YEAH I KNEW THAT I SHOULDN'T, I HAD A CHOICE
BUT I FELT SO UNIMPORTANT
SO I SCRAPPED IT ALL & BROKE ME DOWN
I GUESS I'M JUST ANOTHER CLOWN
WHO TRIES TO MAKE YOU LISTEN WHILE I PLAY
