Eagle in the dark
Feathers in the pages
Monkeys in my heart
Are rattling their cages

Found a way to blue
And another ghost to follow
Said "it´s only up to you"
And that´s the hardest pill to swallow.

You never get to choose
You live on what they sent you
And you know they´re gonna use
The things you love against you

One foot in the grave
One foot in the shower
There´s never time to save
You´re paying by the hour

And that´s just the way it goes
Falling awake
And that´s just the way it goes

Slipping through the bars
Aware of the danger
Of riding in the cars
Taking candy from strangers

And it´s never out of hand
Never out of pocket
I´m supersonic man
Do you wanna buy a rocket?

And that´s just the way it goes
Falling awake, falling awake
Oh that´s just the way it goes
Falling awake, falling awake

Eagle in the dark
Feathers in the pages
Monkeys in my heart
Are rattling their cages

I could learn to play the game
I could learn to run the hustle
If I only had the brains
The money or the muscle
