Take your cold hands and put them on my face
Sharpen your axe and your criminal ways
Let's go to town
and do what we did before
It's gonna hurt
but we don't feel pain no more
If you're alive can you say that you've tried
to be someone who's true?
Stuck in your shell
Looking for help
Come on out and things will soon change
You gotta keep your head up
Start your day by doing something good
Treat a friend the way you know you should
Like a cat in its cage
I feel we're pacing around and never getting our way
But if you know you're a mitt
inside a sleeve, that's a fit
and that's as good as it gets
If you're alive can you say that you've tried
to be someone who's true?
Stuck in your shell
Looking for help
Come on out and things will soon change
You gotta keep your head up
You gotta keep your head up
You gotta keep your head up
Moving quickly
Sure feels so empty
I've thought about it and all the while
I'm still doing the same old thing
I can't say that I'll change or I'll find a new way
Til I know who I am, that's right
Inside my head
I know I've seen a dream
If you're alive can you say that you've tried
to be someone who's true?
Stuck in your shell
Looking for help
Come on out and things will soon change
You gotta keep your head up
You gotta keep it up
I know that we'll find our way
