Running in circles 

Trying to get somewhere 

But when I stop and look

I see that I’m getting nowhere 

And I’m out of breath 

Running out the clock


Living on borrowed time 

Just trying to stay alive

But living’s not living 

When all you do is survive

Live day to day

Run around


I try and try and try so hard 

But all my efforts are in vain 

And I cry and cry and cry some more

Standing out in the rain 

Midnight rain

Midnight rain


Rushing as fast as I can 

Still getting nowhere 

No matter how I try

I can’t get to somewhere 

Live my life just to live


Getting harder to breathe 

Still I gotta keep going 

Getting harder to see

And there’s no way of knowing 

Just what will happen to me 

I know I’ll never be free


When all you do is try to survive 

But the fear and exhaustion makes you cry

Midnight rain

Midnight rain


I try and try and try so hard 

But all my efforts are in vain 

And I cry and cry and cry some more

Standing out in the rain 

Midnight rain

Midnight rain
