LATELY

Lately...yeah

Lately...yeah

Lately...I've been thinking 'bout my state of affairs

I feel another situation's in the air

Lately...I've been holding down my dying breath

I feel that a nervous breakdown's all I have left

But I know it can't last very long

And there's got to be some way

To pull myself out of this grave

That I've dug

Lately...I've felt something clingin' to my back

I think that this little monkey could cut me some slack

Lately...I've been coming down with a strange disease

I feel that a dose of hope is the right remedy

But I know it can't last very long

And there's got to be some way

To pull myself out of this grave

That I've dug

On and on, from now on

I'll leave my guard down

I've learned to take the bread as it comes

Silently without trouble

Now, I've come down to take my place

With the human race so low

It's not how high that you fly

But how far you have to fall...

Lately...yeah

Lately...yeah
