I talk of six while forgetting five
Can't even taste if my food's alive
I'm watching music that I can't hear
Staring down some invisible fear

And once again the question's asked
I answer yes! but the moment's passed
I'm guess I'm always tomorrow-bound
How many more 'til I'm underground?

Oh-oh, I remember now
Too far below to turn around
Too bright a light to let go now
Take me back, my friend
Take me back on home

Now what I'm saying is nothing new
This repetition's right on cue
A wise man said "You're amused to death"
Too much talk - too much wasted breath

You're overjoyed and over-fed
Over-sexed, you're almost dead
I gotta work, gotta stay awake
God, I'm tired, can I take a break?

Oh-oh, I remember now
Too far below to turn around
Too bright a light to let go now
Take me back, my friend
Take me back on home

Oh-oh, I remember now
Too far below to turn around
Too bright a light to let go now
Take me back, my friend
Take me back on home

Oh-oh, I remember now
Too far below to turn around
Too bright a light to let go now
Take me back, my friend
Take me back on home
