Flat on my back again
Feeling like deadwood
Floating downstream
Let the current take me
Flat on my back again
Feeling like deadwood
Floating downstream
Let the current take me
Cause I can't get started
My wheels are frozen solid
I can't get started
Stuck in the muddle of my life
Can't get started
And I try and I try and I try and I try
But I can't get started
Here comes the slide
The long downhill ride
Flat on my back again
Feeling like a bag of bones
Tossed aside in a heap
I Let the earth reclaim me
Flat on my back again
Feeling like a bag of bones
Tossed aside in a heap
I Let the earth reclaim me
Cause I can't get started
No matter how much I punish myself
Can't get started
Stick in the mud man
Puddle of blood man
Can't get started
And I try and I try and I try and I try
But I can't get started
Here comes the crash
double lightning flash
Sometimes I need a little push
Can't kick my motor hard enough
Sometimes I need a little shove
Can't turn it over fast enough
Sometimes I need a little push
Can't kick my motor hard enough
Sometimes I need a little shove
You ain't pushing hard enough
Ain't pushing hard enough
I'm just about run out of gas
Ain't pushing hard enough
Need a little... inspiration
Ain't pushing hard enough
Come on I know you can put me over the edge
Ain't pushing hard enough
You Ain't pushing hard enough now!
Flat on my back again
Feeling like deadwood
Floating downstream
Let the current take me
Cause I can't get started
My wheels are frozen solid
I can't get started
Stuck in the muddle of my life
Can't get started
And I try and I try and I try and I try
But I can't get started
Here comes the slide
The long downhill ride
Sometimes I need a little push
I can't kick my motor hard enough
Sometimes I need a little shove
I can't turn it over fast enough
Sometimes I need a little push
I can't kick my motor hard enough
Sometimes I need a little shove
You ain't pushing hard enough
Ain't pushing hard enough
I'm just about run out of gas
Ain't pushing hard enough
Need a little... inspiration
Ain't pushing hard enough
Come on I know you can put me over the edge
Ain't pushing hard enough
You Ain't pushing hard enough now!
