Pariah dogs and wandering madmen

Barking at strangers and speaking in tongues

The ebb and flow of tidal fortune

Electrical changes are charging up the dawn



It's a far cry from the world we thought we'd inherit

It's a far cry from the way we thought we'd share it

You can almost feel the current flowing

You can almost see the circuits blowing



One day I feel I'm on top of the world

And the next it's falling in on me

I can get back on

I can get back home

One day I feel I'm ahead of the wheel,

And the next it's rolling over me

I can get back on

I can get back home



Whirlwind life of faith and betrayal

Rise in anger, fall back, and repeat

Slow degrees on the dark horizon

Full moon rising lays ever at your feet



It's a far cry from the world we thought we'd inherit

It's a far cry from the way we thought we'd share it

You can almost feel the current flowing

You can almost see the circuits blowing



One day I feel I'm on top of the world

And the next it's falling in on me

I can get back on

I can get back home

One day I feel I'm ahead of the wheel,

And the next it's rolling over me

I can get back on

I can get back home



It's a far cry from the world we thought we'd inherit

You can almost see the circle growing

You can almost feel the planet glowing



One day I feel I'm on top of the world

And the next it's falling in on me

I can get back on

I can get back home

One day I feel I'm ahead of the wheel,

And the next it's rolling over me

I can get back on

I can get back home



One day I fly through a crack in the sky

And the next it's falling in on me

I can get back on

I can get back home
