(I heard no bass while these lines were sung)
As I wake up every day with no songs to play
feeling like I ought to pack my bags and run

Where I felt so good and everything was done

So bring fire and bring steel for you know the way I feel
Bring a silver horse to carry me away

Till the world will let us live our lives as one
