paul revere's midnight ride

you're off by a long sight

you've got to find your reason right now

to put that eye up to the keyhole

to find the answers to the questions

what's it like or what's in fashion

this passion keeps us moving along

could i be down to try to get up off the ground

to survive without you

cause you'll still be living

while i'm busy singing to live

give up

give in

or get up on the roof of the big time

and try to pretend you knew better

i don't care about you

cause you'll still be living

while i'm busy singing

take one step

have you got it in you

you'll have to take it if you want to

you'll have to face the consequences

that can bring you down

don't try and play the game

cause you could get knocked back underground

take one step

have you got it in you

you'll have to fake it like you always do

you'll have to face the consequences

that can bring you down

don't try and play the game

cause you could get knocked back underground

you're off by a long shot

you've got to find your reason right now

to keep your hands inside the game

to find your ride for the long haul

and let you shoulder all the blame

for this monster you can't tame

i try to pretend i knew better

i'm not scared

but i should be

cause you'll still be living

while i'm busy singing

i will not let you live

take one step

have you got it in you

you'll have to take it if you want to

you'll have to face the consequences

that can bring you down

don't try and play the game

cause you could get knocked back underground

take one step

have you got it in you

you'll have to fake it like you always do

you'll have to face the consequences

that can bring you down

don't try and play the game

cause you could get knocked back under

knocked back underground

so take your chances

treading water in the fountain of youth

the truth will set you free

well now you're drowning in the water

in the fountain of youth

the world will set you free

well now you're floating in the water

in the fountain of youth

the truth will set you free

well now you're poisoning the water

in the fountain of youth

the world will set you free

take one step

have you got it in you

you'll have to take it if you want to

you'll have to face the consequences

that can bring you down

don't try and play the game

cause you could get knocked back underground

take one step

have you got it in you

you'll have to fake it like you always do

you'll have to face the consequences

that can bring you down

don't try and play the game

cause you could get knocked back underground
