作曲 : Gary Jules

Eagle in the dark

Feathers in the pages.

Monkeys in my heart

Are rattling their cages.

Found a way to blue

And another ghost to follow

Said "it's only up to you"

And that's the hardest pill to swallow.

You never get to choose

You live on what they sent you

And you know they're gonna use

The things you love against you

One foot in the grave

One foot in the shower

There's never time to save

You're paying by the hour

And that's just the way it goes

Falling awake

And that's just the way it goes

Slipping through the bars

Aware of the danger

Of riding in the cars

Taking candy from strangers

And it's never out of hand

Never out of pocket

I'm supersonic man

Do you wanna buy a rocket?

And that's just the way it goes

Falling awake, falling awake

Oh that's just the way it goes

Falling awake, falling awake

Eagle in the dark

Feathers in the pages

Monkeys in my heart

Are rattling their cages

I could learn to play the game

I could learn to run the hustle

If I only had the brains

The money or the muscle
