On returning
I can't believe this world is still turning
the pressure's on
because the pleasure hasn't gone
and I'm / not sorry for
for the things I've done
and I'm / not looking for
just anyone
On competing
when will this tired heart stop beating? 1
it's all a game
existence is only a game
and I'm / not sorry for
for the things I've done
and I'm / not looking for
just anyone
I'm / slipping below the water-line
I'm / slipping below the water-line
reach for my hand / and
and the race is won
reject my hand / and
the damage is done
I'm / slipping below the water-line
I'm / slipping below the water-line
the woman of my dreams / she
she never came along
the woman of my dreams / well
there never was one
and I'm / not sorry for
for the things I've said
there's a wild man
in my head
there's a wild man
in my head
