I talk of six while forgetting five

Can't even taste if my food's alive

I'm watching music that I can't hear

Staring down some invisible fear

And once again the question's asked

I answer yes! but the moment's passed

I'm guess I'm always tomorrow-bound

How many more till I'm underground?

Oh oh I remember now

Too far below to turn around

Too bright a light to let go now

Take me back my friend

Take me back back on home

Now what I'm saying is nothing new

This repetition's right on cue

A wise man said you're amused to death

Too much talk - too much wasted breath

You're overjoyed and over-fed

Over-sexed - you're almost dead

Gotta work gotta stay awake

God I'm tired can I take a break

the only thing wrong with this awesome song is that random long accordian solo after the first verse....

The beginning beat always reminds me of PlayStation's Spyro: Ripto's Rage's background music... I don't know why but please say I'm not the only one....

The beginning kinda sounds like the beginning of Soundgarden's The Day I Tried to Live, it's a similar note combination. The first time I heard this song I immediately thought of The Day I Tried to Live.
