Every time you take the risk you get a little bit closer
still you cannot dismiss your ideals
rely on your senses but they fail you now
you fold and drop your defenses
and that's a shame
and you do it again ( x4 )

Don't you know that something
don't you have half a brain
I see you round the clinic
you call that lucky
and you do it again ( x4 )

Remember what your momma said
seek and you shall find
quit while you're ahead
the door is open wide
and you do it again (repeated multiple times)
