One can’t get around on luck alone
It will take you places, but not far enough
Won’t you scratch my back and I’ll
scratch yours
My mother tells me to get out and
activate myself
Well, sometimes I do tend to lie on my
back, face up, eyes down
with no intention of moving again
I don’t have the will nor the power
This morning’s just the same, I can’t even
make it to the shower
and I wonder if the sun will ever shine
on me
Will I ever get a chance to see love as I
want it to be
I’m looking for some stability
it’s been hectic since I came here
I’ve developed an ability to make
people cry
that includes me
Now, more than ever I realise the pressure
is on me to succeed
and maybe I’ll come through, but what
am I gonna do if I don’t
Will there be another chance for me
Or will I lie here for eternity
I’ve been waiting so long for some kind
of sign, and I’m getting tired
I’m gonna give it one more try, cause I’ve
got it in me, you see
One can’t get around on luck alone
It will take you places, but not far enough
Won’t you scratch my back and I’ll
scratch yours
