Years ago I tried to slip away Moving like a freight train Cutting through the yard I been losing all my time again There's a silent Reckoning that starts behind the eyelids Dripping intravenous to my heart Til I can't feel anything Switching at the surface I tried and tried to say it But it don't relay So tell me something sweet For the history Something I can taste Oh, it makes me nervous How I tried and tried to give But it don't relate Tell me what you need So I don't I feel it When the lasso pulls me in 'Cause I let it I let it pull me in It's a cycle A spinning that turns slowly to a spiral Moving through a spiral into habit When the lasso pulls me in I said it I'll say it again It's the same ride A minute that turns slowly to lifetime Moving through a lifetime into static When the lasso pulls me in I let it I let it pull me in Tie the loop And swing the rope Around your head Swing it round And round again If you don't let go Before you aim You'll throw your rope Around me again Switching at the surface I tried and tried to say it But it don't relay So tell me something sweet For the history Something I can taste Oh, it makes me nervous How I tried and tried to give But it don't relate Tell me what you need So I don't I feel it When the lasso pulls me in 'Cause I let it I let it pull me in It's a cycle A spinning that turns slowly to a spiral Moving through a spiral into habit When the lasso pulls me in I said it I'll say it again It's the same ride A minute that turns slowly to lifetime Moving through a lifetime into static When the lasso pulls me in I let it I let it pull me in
