Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Watch the band through a bunch of dancers
Quickly follow the unknown
With somethin' more familiar
Quickly, somethin' familiar
[Verse 2]
Courage, my word
It didn't come, it doesn't matter
[Verse 3]
Sleepwalk, so fast asleep
In a motel that has the lay of home
And piss on all of your background
And piss on all of your surroundings
[Verse 4]
Courage, my word
It didn't come, it doesn't matter
Courage, your word
It didn't come, it doesn't matter
[Verse 5]
Courage, my word
It didn't come, it doesn't matter
Courage, it couldn't come at a worse time
[Verse 6]
There's no simple, explanation
For anything important, any of us do
And, yeah, the human tragedy
Consists in, the necessity
Of living with, the consequences
Under pressure, under pressure
[Verse 7]
Courage, my word
It didn't come, it doesn't matter
Courage, your word
It didn't come, it doesn't matter
[Verse 8]
Courage, my word
It didn't come, it doesn't matter
Courage, it couldn't come at a worse time
[Verse 9]
It couldn't come at a worse time
No, no
It couldn't come at a worse time
Courage
