Ring

Got no reason for coming to me and the rain running down.
There's no reason.
And the same voice coming to me like it's all slowin down.
And believe me--

I was the one who let you know
I was your sorry-ever-after. '74-'75
Giving me more and i'll defy
'cause you're really only after '74-'75.

It's not easy, nothing to say 'cause it's already said.
It's never easy.
When i look on your eyes then i find that i'll do fine.
When i look on your eyes then i'll do better.

I was the one who let you know
I was your sorry-ever-after. '74-'75.
Giving me more and i'll defy
"cause you're really only after '74-'75.

I wouldn't bet the whale that i'd ever see
The juvenile in your eyes like the one i see.
No i wouldn't climb the highs thinking that i'd find
A reason for honesty without even tryin'.

Doin' you and being new upon it.
Seeing your fog and drive on through it.
Being you with your creature comfort.
Doin' you is like doin' time.

I wouldn't buy your time if it was for sale.
Might sic my dog on you if you brought the mail.
Don't you dream of happiness when you're feeling blue?
Never see modesty from the likes of you.

Any day now, they'll have you down any way that they please,
Sayin' just about everything.
Any day now, cuz i hear your voice, but it's not the same sound.

All the luck, just in time to see it all come and go,
There goes another one.
Everyday now, i hear the noise, it's not the same sound.
Take you by the hand and pull you around.
I hear your voice, and they watered you down.

As if anything were different in here.
All i know's i'd like to shake it off forever.
If it all turned out the way we knew it wouldn't i'd know.

...not the same sound,
Pat you on the back as they push you around.
I hear your voice and they watered you down.

You're thinking everybody needs to know
What sets you so far apart.
On a hunch i think i could show
But we'll let you keep the part.

You gotta pull it off
When we least expect it.

Really need to see your face on the wall
Of a three or four star restaurant.
Shouldn't take more than a call
You always seem to get what you want.

Gotta pull it off
When we least expect it.
Gotta pull it off...

Then we'll find out
What this is really all about.
Then i'll be the one who says "i don't believe it."
Then we'll find you
Like you'd always want us to,
Face the first in your own favorite way.

Sometimes i get the feeling things won't fall apart.
Sometimes i think it's gone too far.
Sometimes i get the feeling things seem pretty nice.
Then again sometimes i'd like to leave you twice.

Once we decide upon it
We won't fall apart.
This time i think it's gone too far.

And you get where you can't decide--
Don't ask any other.
And you get where you can't decide.

Didn't i say "sorry."
Didn't i say "dear."
Didn't i consider.
Didn't i stand clear.
Didn't you say "new boy get down on your knees."
Didn't i say "trying, i'm trying, i'm trying."

Really ought to check the hair.
Or maybe you don't care.
Here it comes from the side.
You could see it if you tried.

Ought to check your shoes.
Hey, how about the shoes.
Here they come from the glass,
That you walk by extra fast.

Chorus:
Don't you know that,
You need it sometimes.
Why not go and stare it down?
It's better to see it all as someone,
Who keeps his eyes on the ground.

Nearly bought it all today, like every other day.
Seeing everything so clear, watch out for that...
There's always something that almost turns you 'round.

(repeat chorus)

Don't fail me now, don't forget how,
Don't believe it, leave it.
Gonna get it gonna see.
