Up and up and up I climb, When I came up I was so far behind, My head takes a lickin', But my heart keeps on tickin, Just the same. Always startin' over but somehow, I always know where to begin. Round and round and round I ride, And just when I looked I hadn't even began, To feel the effect, A cool, dark fever, On the brain. That feelin' takin' over, Like a holy rollercoaster, To the grave. How can I await the day? And last the night I'm here to see? How do I await the mother lode? It's the art of feeling naked in your clothes. Again, again, again I tried, That's how I knew I would never be denied, That face in the mirror, Who could it be? It was my own. That cool, dark figure, That's when I knew I was alone. On and on and on I drive, When will I know I have finally arrived? So far I've gone, so far to go, It never ends. Always starting over but somehow I always know where to begin,
