They say some days you're gonna win,
They say some days you're gonna lose.
I tell you I got news for you
You're losing all the time, you never win, no
If you believe that's how it's gonna be,
I'd better put you down
Get off your tightrope up there, come down on the ground
You gotta save me now, you better turn around.
When I looked around, I was heading down
Won't somebody throw me down a line
They say some days you gotta give
They say some days you gotta take
If that's the way it's gotta be,
Roll it over and you will see
The city streets are full of people
Going nowhere making time
The change from night to day is really only hours,
It's just along the line, can't you see the sign
When I looked around, I was heading down
Won't somebody throw me down a line
I want to look you straight in the eye
I want to tell you how I really feel
I can feel the wheels are turning around
Won't somebody throw me down a line
The city streets are full of people
Going nowhere making time
The change from night to day is really only hours,
It's just along the line, can't you see the sign
When I closed my eyes, I was so surprised
Somebody had thrown me down the line,
Stopped me drowning
Somebody had thrown me down the line
