When I look back upon my shoulder and see what I've been through No turning back, that game is over but it could still break through
As time goes by, we see the tide going back and forth Nothing to hide, no shame but pride What are you looking for?
A pound of flesh when bowels moulder and no one cares but you Beliefs, convictions, blind opinions a fading flesh tattoo
Going frostbite, feel numb and tired back's against the wall Still getting high, air rarefied The higher, the harder the fall
And I could never get by that dropping dime Dinner's on the house It feels like I got that free pass to rides But don't let it rouse Don't even grouse
And when you see through smoke and mirrors Spirit off and down Tap on your back, you're getting bigger They price tag you half-crown
You give your soul Away for gold No surprise at all Except for the pay And, by the way Though you'd have a ball?
And I could never get by that dropping dime Dinner's on the house It feels like I got that free pass to rides What is it all about?
And I believe there's no such thing as free lunch But dinner's on the house It's hard to tell when all you've got is just a hunch What is it all about? Don't let it rouse No other routes Don't even grouse Are you a man or a mouse?
When I look back upon my shoulder and see what I've been through
