Up and up and up I climb
And when I came up I was so far behind
My head takes a licking
But my heart keeps on ticking just the same
Always starting over
But somehow I always know where to begin
Round and round and round I ran
And just when I looked I hadn't even began
To feel the effect, a cool, dark fever on the brain
That feeling taking over
Like a holy roller-coaster to the grave
How can I await the day
And last the night I'm here to see?
How do I await the mother lode?
It's the art of feeling naked in your clothes
Again, again, again I tried
That's how I knew I would never be denied
That face in the mirror
Who could it be? It was my own
That cool, dark figure
That's when I knew I was alone
On and on and on I drive
When will I know I have finally arrived?
So far I've come, so far to go, it never ends
Always starting over
But somehow I always know where to begin
Always starting over
But somehow I always know where to begin
Always starting over
But somehow I always know where to begin
