Awakened from our beds The roll call must commence And memories of a long forgotten song Remain there, and they stay there It's a race we must run to the place where the drums Never fade, seek a soul and live... (Chorus) Sinking or swimming, swimming in women You've got to learn to take the knocks Winners and losers, passion abusers They masquerade as one of us Sinking or swimming, swimming in women Breaking like waves against the rocks One million voices, too many choices, You've got to line them up against the wall... With colors so intense She burns the evidence And memories of a long forgotten song Are eroded; now they're dead It's a wonderous tale how we ever set sail Sever sleep, take a soul and live... (Chorus) The race has begun now we shoot through the subway You'll know when you see me for I shall be singing There gathers a mass exodus on the carpet A token of love, now she's mopping us up The place we were headed before we were stopped is still waiting (Chorus) The stronger will rise and the weaker shall fall...
