Lyrics
Here I go again
Stubborn to the end
And I go around, around, around
It's another day
Just like any day
And I go around, around, around
Can I wash these bloody hands?
Can I make you understand?
Would you be amused if I try again?
Here we go again
Struggling to pretend
And we go around, around, around
If I could find the heart
I'd tear these bloody chains apart
Still we go around, around, around
Can I stop these shaking hands?
Could I be less of a man?
Would you be amused if I tried again?
CLIMB ON BOARD AND DON'T BE SLOW
READY OR NOT WE'RE SET TO GO
AROUND MY WORLD IN EIGHTY DAYS
STRAP IN TIGHT AND DON'T DELAY
DON'T THINK TWICE JUST JUMP RIGHT IN
YOU'VE HAD YOUR CHANCE TO SAVE YOUR SKIN
AND NOW IT'S TIME FOR US TO PLAY
AROUND MY WORLD IN EIGHTY DAYS
