It's 5 a.m. and all the world 
is available to me 
but it don't mean a thing tonight 
i never thought that this could ever happen, you see
when it did i locked the door 
& turned out the lights 

and we go down for various reasons unknown 
we sink to the bottom & cry 
we go down for various reasons unknown 
every man, every woman alike 

i wonder if i'm strong enough to take it from here 
i sit & drink & i talk to the night 
when time has come to cross the bridge 
you know it's for real 
when everything around is falling apart 

and we go down for various reasons unknown 
we sink to the bottom & cry 
we go down for various reasons unknown 
every man, every woman alike 

i would give up everything 
if i knew that it would bring me back home 
i would start to pray again 
if i knew that it would lead me home 

and we go down for various reasons unknown
we go down for various reasons unknown 
every man, every woman alike 
and we go down for various reasons unknown 
we sink to the bottom & cry 
but we go on for various reasons unknown 
every man, every woman alike
