Well, this stone that I have swallowed Isn't going down so well And this road that I have followed Is leading me to Hell And you said it didn't matter But I think you're a liar Is this one of your talents Stokes the very fire that burns you Each time you try to live The earth will turn below you The pressure is building And something has to give And when I build you a steeple You say it's incomplete 'Cause you need the whole cathedral To satisfy your need And you're like a paper aeroplane That never seems to land Flying blind through anything Straight into the hand that chokes you Each time you try to live The earth will turn below you The pressure is building And something has to give Something has to give Something has to give Something has to give
