If I could find a cure for your disease I'd keep it to myself and oversleep And I would brush it slowly through your hair Don't despair And I could sell your manuscript away And shatter to the lowest bid today Or toss it down the stairs into your yard To discard And you are not a mystery; More a tragic comedy... The next day you rise. The next day you rise. The next day you rise. The next day you rise. Oh, hold me down, I'm your clown You refuse to wear your crooked crown And when she cries at night Goals are in her sight She won't set it out and get it done It just keeps her broken down, she's trapped inside The tensions from her life She can't get around, get around I don't see you breaking down Not right... I'm right. The next day you rise. The next day you rise. The next day you rise. The next day you rise.
