one more time around

I woke the same,
as any other day except a voice was in my head.
It said, "sieze the day,
pull the trigger, drop the blade and watch the rolling heads."
The Day I Tried to Live,
I stole a thousand beggars' change and gave it to the rich.
The Day I Tried to Win,
I dangled from the power lines and left them all astretch.
One more time around, i might do it.
One more time around, i might make it.

The words you say,
never seem to live up to the ones inside your head.
The lives we make,
Never seem to ever get us anywhere but dead.

The Day I Tried to Live,
I wallowed in the blood and mud with all the other pigs.

I woke the same,
as any other day, you know i
should have stayed in bed.

The Day I Tried to Win,
I wallowed in the blood and mud with all the other pigs.
and I loved that i was alive.

The Day I Tried To Live
just like you.

One more time around.
