[Interlude]

[Verse 1: Curt Smith]
These fingers aren't my fingers
These hands are not my hands
No one sees and no one cares
What gets broken
Stuck for time and stationary
Not for rhyme and not for reason
What gets broken
What gets broken

[Chorus: Curt Smith, Roland Orzabal]
Going far, getting nowhere
Going far the way you are
Going far, getting nowhere
Going far the way you are
Going far, getting nowhere
To tomorrow, to tomorrow
The way you are
To tomorrow, climb the ladder
Going far, getting nowhere
To tomorrow, to tomorrow
The way you are
To tomorrow, climb the ladder
[Verse 2: Curt Smith]
And the rhythm of machinery
Slows to a heartbeat
Everyone preaches, no one teaches
Who am I to believe?
Stuck for time and stationary
Who gets broken?

[Chorus: Curt Smith, Roland Orzabal]
Going far, getting nowhere
Going far the way you are
Going far, getting nowhere
Going far the way you are
Going far, getting nowhere
To tomorrow, to tomorrow
The way you are
To tomorrow, climb the ladder
Going far, getting nowhere
To tomorrow, to tomorrow
The way you are
To tomorrow, climb the ladder

[Post-Chorus: Curt Smith, Roland Orzabal]
The way you are
Climb the ladder
The way you, way you are
Climb the ladder, climb the ladder
[Interlude]

[Chorus: Curt Smith, Roland Orzabal]
Going far, getting nowhere
Going far the way you are
Going far, getting nowhere
Going far the way you are
Going far, getting nowhere
To tomorrow, to tomorrow
The way you are
To tomorrow, climb the ladder
Going far, getting nowhere
To tomorrow, to tomorrow
The way you are
To tomorrow, climb the ladder

[Post-Chorus: Curt Smith, Roland Orzabal]
The way you are
Climb the ladder
The way you are
Climb the ladder
The way you are
Climb the ladder
The way you, way you are
Climb the ladder, climb the ladder
