Lately...
Lately... yeah 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 you know it can't last very long
And there's got to be some way
To pull myself out of the grave
That I've dug... yeah yeah
Lately
I've felt something clinging to my back
I think
That this little monkey should 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 you know it can't last very long
And there's got to be some way
To pull myself out of the grave
That I've dug... yeah yeah
On and on from now on
I'll let myself down
I've learned to take the bread as 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 I fly, but I far I have to fall...
Lately...
Lately... yeah yeah
