It's getting late and I'm getting torn 
Between a lonely night and an ugly morn 
I don't even know if I can hold my own 
But what can I do for you? 

My feet are hurting from walking on a wire 
But I can't be a lover if I won't be a liar 
I'm not too sure how it's supposed to be 
But I can't love nothing that don't love me 

Pick my feet up off the ground 
No floor below and no walls around me 
Ain't afraid of dying 
If I ain't falling I must be flying 

You're getting bored when you're living fast 
You can only be sure when your time is past 
A well laid plan is all right if 
You're a dying man or a working stiff 

I can't keep walking in my father's shoes 
Doing the sidewalk shuffle to the highway blues 
If I ain't working from sun to sun 
I'm never gonna hate the things I've done 

I've talked to people who say they've seen it all 
Who say that I'd only listen I would heed the call 
If you think you can believe it cause you've seen it with your 
eyes 

Just because you ain't burning, you think it's paradise 
Faith is forever and fame is temporary 
But you can't cross the Jordan on the Staten Island Ferry 
You might as well eat it if you've already picked it 

'Cause you can't ride to heaven on a round trip ticket
