Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Every street is dark and folding
Out mysteriously
Where lies the chance we take
To be always working, reachin' out for
A hand that we can't see
Everybody's gotta hold on hope
It's the last thing that's holdin' me
[Verse 2]
Invitation to the last dance
Then it's time to leave
That's the price we pay
When we deceive one another, animal mother
She opens up for free
Everybody's gotta hold on hope
It's the last thing that's holdin' me
[Verse 3]
Look at the talk box
In mute frustration
At the station
There hides the cowboy
[Verse 4]
Look at the talk box
In mute frustration
At the station
There hides the cowboy
His campfire flickering
On the landscape
[Verse 5]
That nothin' grows on
Time still goes on
Through each life of misery
Everybody's gotta hold on hope
It's the last thing that's holdin' me
[Verse 6]
Everybody's gotta hold on hope
It's the last thing that's holdin' me
[Verse 7]
Everybody's gotta hold on hope
It's the last thing that's holdin' me
