Opposites attract said the monkey on my back to the parasite

That sails from drunk to sober

Glory days in my sentimental maze

Set the world alight and wake me when it’s over

Take a chance every movement is a glance at a brighter life

It leaves you when your older

Futures bought for a fraction of there cost

As we live and die in dreams until we rise

Opposites attract my condition is a fact

So predictable with god upon my shoulders

Same mistakes that i always seem to make leave me open wide

The parts nearly over

Face to face with the gift of my disgrace

As we slip and slide through time until we rise again

Before that sound can strip you down

We rise again

That hidden voice that has no choice screams

I never wanted to be your darling

Only ever wanted to see your garden

Could never fall in love with great pretender

Alive inside just like a hurricane

Call it love and devotion but is only a notion

Just describe what it means to see

Call it love and devotion but is only a notion

Opposites attract said the monkey on my back to the parasite

That sails from drunk to sober

Glory days in my sentimental maze

Set the world alight and wake me when it’s over

Take a chance every movement is a glance at a brighter life

It leaves you when your older

Futures bought for a fraction of there cost

As we live and die in dreams until we rise
