"Climb To Safety" lyrics

"Climb To Safety"

You can hear, hear it comin'
Like a train out of control
Surely leaves you wonderin'
Exactly where your ticket goes
Scream at the conductor
He's been deaf for twenty years
Hear the other people laughin'
As he grinds through every gear

You go to grab your nerve, you find that its been missin'
Seems you've lost your faith in everyone you know
Well I surely hope that you don't plan on winnin'
Better start payin' more attention to the ones that throw you clear
You are seconds from the impact, but you're movin' way too slow

You say time will surely mold you
Into something you don't like
Now you're runnin' like a rabbit
Stick your finger in the dike

Look around your room you find the paint is peelin'
Your reflective skin is fallin' off your bones
Well, I must admit I know just how you're feelin'
Must grab each others collar, must rise out of the water
'Cause you know as well as I do that it's no fun to die alone

After all that I've been through, you're the only one that matters
Climb to safety
You never left me in the dark here on my own
Climb to safety
I can feel the water rising, let me be your ladder
Climb to safety
I promise you'll be dry and never be alone

You tell me love, has always scared you
Like the things under your bed
Baby, we can walk on water
Like some junkies swore they did

You call me on the phone, you say that it is crucial
Stick your fingers in your ears 'til they explode
It's just business, and it rolls along as usual
Must grab each others collar, we must rise out of the water
'Cause you know as well as I do that it's no fun to die alone

After all that I've been through, you're the only one that matters
Climb to safety
You never left me in the dark here on my own
Climb to safety
I can feel the water rising, let me be your ladder
Climb to safety
I promise you'll be dry and never be alone

After all that I've been through, you're the only one that matters
Climb to safety
You never left me in the dark here on my own
Climb to safety
I can feel the water rising, let me be your ladder
Climb to safety
I promise you'll be dry and never be alone

Yeah, climb to safety
Ooh, climb to safety, safety
Yeah
Climb to safety
