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 young



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 blowin'



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 on

One day I feel I'm ahead of the wheel

And the next it's rollin' over me

I can get back on, I can get back on



Whirlwind life of faith and betrayal

Rising angle, fall back and repeat

Slow degrees on the dark horizon

Full moon rising lays silver 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 blowin'



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 on

One day I feel I'm ahead of the wheel

And the next it's rollin' over me

I can get back on, I can get back on



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

(You can almost see the serpent growin')

(You can almost feel the planets glowin')



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 on

One day I feel I'm ahead of the wheel

And the next it's rollin' over me

I can get back on, I can get back on



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 on

Ah-oh-oh-oh! I can get back on, I can get back on
