i see the world on a string it s hanging from a wire it gets tangled up and spun around like the truth inside a liar sometimes you wanna get high and sometimes you run and hide cause it eats you up and spits you out it swallows you alive when i m down on my knees and it hurts to believe you ll bring me back to life when there s no songs to sing and no flowers to bring you ll bring me back to life you ll bring me back to life i see the world on a beach it s sinking in the sand oh it tries to suck you down with it you better get out while you can sometimes you wanna scream out and sometimes you just can t cause your lips feel like they re glued together and no one gives a damn when i m down on my knees and it hurts to believe you ll bring me back to life when there s no songs to sing and no flowers to bring you ll bring me back to life you ll bring me back to life this is the world on a string there s no songs left to sing just sing sing i see the good i see the bad the revolution i see the happy i see the sad the absolution i see hate and i see love when the world s on a string when i m down on my knees and it hurts to believe you ll bring me back to life when there s no songs to sing and no flowers to bring you ll bring me back to life when i m down on my knees and it hurts to believe you ll bring me back to life when there s no songs to sing and no flowers to bring and you ll bring me back to life and you ll bring me back to life and you ll bring me back to life
