I’d  rather die on my feet
Than live on my knees
And what in God’s name
Have I been doing just to please
Everyone, it’s a joke
I lose it all then go for broke
And it seems I’ve gotta save myself
Coz I can’t rely on anyone else
Coz you tell ‘em the truth
They bust it like a secret
And there’s no promise
I make if I can’t keep it
And I’ve got stars in my soul
But I’ve been living like I’m a black hole
Drawing light into the dark 
I hit the ball like I’m in a park
But I never strike out
I always get it like it’s never been in doubt
But I can’t wear these colours no more
My feet walk up to the door
And rap a tap I know he can hear
I’m still for you, my dear
