[Verse 1]
Every street is
Dark and folding out mysteriously
Where lies the chance we take to be
Always working
Reaching out for a hand that we can't see

[Chorus]
Everybody's got a hold on hope (Hold on hope)
It's the last thing that's holding me

[Verse 2]
Invitation to the last dance
Then it's time to leave
Well, that's a price we pay (A price we pay)
When we deceive
One another (One another)
Animal mother (Animal mother)
She opens up for free

[Chorus]
Everybody's got a hold on hope (Hold on hope)
It's the last thing that's holding me (Last thing)

[Refrain]
Look at the talk box, mute frustration
At the station there hides the cowboy (Ah-ah-ah-ah)
[Instrumental Break]

[Refrain]
Look at the talk box (Look at the talk box)
Mute frustration (Mute frustration)
At the station there hides the cowboy (Ah-ah-ah-ah)
A campfire flickering on a landscape
That nothing grows on, time still goes on
And through each life of misery

[Chorus]
Everybody's got a hold on hope (Hold on hope)
It's the last thing that's holding me (It's the last thing)
Hold on hope (Hold on hope)
Everybody's got a hold on hope (If I can hold on hope)
It's the last thing that's holding me (Last thing)
Hold on hope (Hold on hope, hold on hope)
Everybody's got a hold on hope (Hold on hope)
It's the last thing that's holding me, oh (Last thing)
