Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I was born under strikes where I lost my mind and I lost my sight
I was born under strikes, but I lost my way and I lost my mind
And I have lived in the finest times, but I gave it up just to wait in line
But I was born in the dark of night, but I made my signs and I made my life
[Chorus]
Under the strikes
Under the strikes
Under the strikes, ooh
Under the strikes
[Verse 2]
You were born under blue skies
But you lost your way and you lost your mind
And I cracked my ribs, but I found my spine
We truly lived in the best of times
I once made my perfect home
Where I found myself, but I ate alone, yeah
I once knew all of your names
But I sold 'em off and went insane
[Chorus]
Under the strikes
Under the strikes, ooh
Under the strikes
Under the strikes
[PostChorus]
Under the strikes
[Verse 3]
And I once thought we had time to spare
Seasons change into winter air
A lion lifts and leaves the room
And all our days are gone too soon
I once thought we had time to spare
Seasons come in a winter air
A lion looks and leaves the room
And all those days are gone too soon
And I once thought there was time to spare
Seasons turn in the winter air
A lion lifts and leaves the room
And all our days are gone too soon
