All these things I send out to you
Come bouncing off you, and then right back on me
And this repeats itself so needlessly, oh!

I daren't have fights with a brick wall
I take two steps forward
Or I do not move at all
Staying in one place, forever and ever and ever

You're holding me in dirty hands
First I'm in there, but I don't belong at all
I'm back banging my head on that old brick wall
I see signs warning me to read the ways more carefully
For I could keep treading on you, forever, forever

(Instrumental)

At the end of all this
What do I gеt
Well my nerves start to shakе
Cos it ain't started yet
And it comes right back and touched my hands
Time to change my plans
Everyone says, oh, let go, but my fingers are steel
And my hands say no
I can't keep fighting with you, forever, forever
(Break)

Once in awhile, the sky seems near
And I look up and it all falls down
I can't win fights with a brick wall
I have to break it down or I do not fight at all
Stay in one place forever
And the whole place starts going, aahh!

(Break 2)

I'm standing here with dirty hands
Something tells me that I don't belong here at all
I'm back banging my head on that old brick wall
At the end of all this, what do I get
Well, I feel so afraid cos it ain't started yet
And it comes right back on dirty hands, oh!
Everyone says, oh, let go, but my fingers are steel
And my hands say no
And I tell you I could keep hanging on here forever
Oh, oh, oh, oh, I, I, I, I, I, I, oh, oh, oh, oh!
