lyrics

MAGNETIC LIVES

DRAG YOUR FEET THROUGH AN ENDLESS DAY
RUNNING WILD AS YOU LOST THE TRAIL
FOUND A PLACE TO ERASE YOUR NAME
TRADE THE PAST FOR A HIGHER STATE

PACK YOUR BAGS WHEN THE EVENING COMES
MAKING BEDS FOR THE LONELY ONES
FOUND YOURSELF IN THE SAFETY LANE
YOU WERE TRAPPED SO YOU HAD TO STAY

DON’T YOU KNOW, THESE ARE OUR MAGNETIC LIVES
ON YOUR OWN WITH THE CRUELTY AND THE CRIME

PLACE YOUR HEAD IN THE LION’S MOUTH
ONCE IT’S IN IT AIN’T COMING OUT
FEEDING CRACKS JUST TO KEEP THE BEAT
LEFT YOU STARVED FOR SOME PLACE TO EAT

CHORUS

PIECE YOURSELF TOGETHER
THIS COULD TAKE A WHILE

FATE HAS LEFT YOU STRANDED
WHEN SHE CHANGED HER MIND

TAKE A WALK IN THE LION’S DEN
THAT’S A BET YOU CAN NEVER WIN
LIKE A BIRD WITH A BROKEN WING
NEVER FLIES BUT SHE SURE CAN SING
