Until We Fall In -

Every junkie knows the fix won’t last

Strung out but the keeps on coppin'

Every politician with a shady past

Hopes a love child don’t come knockin'

Every alcoholic swears «This drink’s the last»

Every broker was a genius til the market crashed

Every gambler on a streak knows that he can’t win

But he keeps on betting til the sky caves in

We can’t breathe under water

And we don’t know how to swim

But we keep on rocking the boat

Until we fall in

La la la la la la

Every stand-up comic has a serious night

Every streetwalker’s somebody’s daughter

Every soldier in the war’s got God on his side

And that’s why we can’t stop the slaughter

Every magazine cover has been retouched

Every generation swears «It won’t happen to us»

But it can & it will & we do & it does

You wanna know why?

It’s because

We can’t breathe under water

And we don’t know how to swim

But we keep on rocking the boat

Until we fall in

Until we fall in

Yeah yeah

We should quit while we’re ahead, instead

We wait to get knocked around

Cause you never need the lifeboat

Til the ship is going down

Well, look around

Every now and then life calls your bluff

You gotta walk the talk you’re talking

Everybody wishes they could just shut up

But we just keep going on and on and on and on and on…

We can’t breathe under water

And we don’t know how to swim

But we’re crossing all our fingers, stripping down and diving in

We can’t breathe under water

And we don’t know how to swim

But we keep on rocking the boat

Until we fall in

Until we fall in

La la la la la la, la la la la yeah

Careful what you’re wishing for, you just might get it

Live today 'cause if you don’t you might live to regret it

That’s all I’m saying
