Lyrics

Day in, day out
It’s just light and sound
You’ve been hanging around
But that’s over now

You look alive
Feel dead inside
And it’s in your eyes
You won’t survive

Want to live forever
Total system error
Maybe I’m a failure
Maybe I’ll be greater

You get carried along
And you can’t feel it go, go, go

You won’t feel it go
‘Til you get back up again
You won’t feel it go
Lead or follow (x3)

Nothing better to do
Feeling bored inside you
Major system failure
Maybe see you later

You get carried along
And you can’t feel it go, go, go

You won’t feel it go
‘Til you get back up again
You won’t feel it go
Lead or follow (x9)

Day in, day out
It’s just light and sound
Been hanging around
But that’s over now

You look alive
Feel dead inside
And it’s in your eyes
You won’t survive (x2)

You won’t feel it go
‘Til you get back up again
You won’t feel it go
Lead or follow (x9)
