Lately...yeah
Lately...yeah
Lately...I've been thinking 'bout my state of affairs
I feel another situation's in the air
Lately...I've been holding down my dying breath
I feel that a nervous breakdown's all I have left
But I know it can't last very long
And there's got to be some way
To pull myself out of this grave
That I've dug
Lately...I've felt something clingin' to my back
I think that this little monkey could cut me some slack
Lately...I've been coming down with a strange disease
I feel that a dose of hope is the right remedy
But I know it can't last very long
And there's got to be some way
To pull myself out of this grave
That I've dug
On and on, from now on
I'll leave my guard down
I've learned to take the bread as it comes
Silently without trouble
Now, I've come down to take my place
With the human race so low
It's not how high that you fly
But how far you have to fall...
Lately...yeah
Lately...yeah
Lately...yeah
Lately...yeah
