Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Eagle in the dark
Feathers in the pages
Monkeys in my heart
Rattling their cages
Found a way to blue
Another ghost to follow
Said it's only up to you
It's the hardest pill to swallow, mm
[Verse 2]
You never get to choose
You live on what they sent you
And you know they're gonna use
The things you love against you
One foot in the grave
One foot in the shower
There's never time to save
You're payin' by the hour
[Verse 3]
And that's just the way it goes
Falling awake
And that's just the way it goes
[Verse 4]
Slipping through the bars
Aware of the danger
Of riding in the cars
Takin' candy from strangers
And you're never out of hand
Never out of pocket
I'm supersonic man
Do you wanna buy a rocket?
[Verse 5]
Oh, that's just the way it goes
Falling awake, falling awake, mm
And that's just the way it goes
Falling awake, falling awake
[Verse 6]
Eagle in the dark
Feathers in the pages
Monkeys in my heart
Are rattling their cages
I could learn to play the game
I could learn to run the hustle
If I only had the brains
The money, or the muscle
