Fear of the marketplace
Afraid of the world outside a door
Maybe it's cold out there
And if it's cold, you can't come home anymore
Fear of the marketplace
Just gotta forget the whole damned thing
You're ready to take that fling
You're ready to make it swing, you've done it before
Just open the door
You and I
Know we tried
Tried it all before
And we almost made it thru
Long ago
Is so far away
Like a flame that would burn
In the heart of the night
Like a flame that would burn
Giving heat, giving light
It was right, yeah
Fear of the marketplace
Just taking that ride inside your head
Are you alive, or dead
When you're alive
You get to try one more time
It's gonna be fine
Gonna be fine
Try one more time
You can try one more time
Won'y you try one more time
Come on and try one more time
We can try, just one more time
One more time
We can try
Come on try, just one more time
One more time
