A thousand Septicans
Won't keep us from the things we plan
Unless we're clinging to the things with pride.
A thousand skeptic hands
Won't keep us from the things we plan
Unless we're clinging to the things we prize.
A thousand septic hands
Won't keep us from the things we plant
Unless we're clinging to the things with pride.
A thousand skeptic hands
Won't keep us from the things we plan
Unless we're clinging to the things we prize.
An only path, a mountain climb
A lonely path, an uphill climb
And do you escape like you?
And do you feel scared? I do
And do you escape?
And do you feel scared?
And do you feel scattered?
And do you feel scared? I do
And do you restrain? I do
And do you feel scared? I do
But I won't stop and talk to her
But I won't stop and falter
But I won't stop at 40
But I won't stop and falter
Get too sexy and you know what you'll get.
Get to sixty and feel no regret.
How do you escape?
And do you feel scared?
D:Ream's,
"Things Can Only Get Better"
I look at things now in a different life, in a different way
I look at things now in a different light than I did before
It took three years, we have to realize
Future dreams we have to realize
Treating today as though it was
Or less, the final shot.
Treating today as though it was
The last, the final show.
When I skate to lose it all, securities rip through the wall.
We're not scared to lose it all, security thrown through the wall.
D:Ream's,
"Things Can Only Get Better"
You have shown me where Judas is angry
You have shown me prejudice and greed
