five years i've been like this
i've been at the top and i've been in shit
i don't know where i'm going
but i don't know what i'd do if i stayed.
well, up there is quite something
and down there you got nothing
well, if you're in the middle you should be glad.
bridges, buildings, and brothels i've seen 'em all
through sunny and dark days i've stood tall
day by day it's getting old
and minute by minute i'm getting old
and month by month, i'm losing breath
and day by day i'm nearing death
five years i've been like this
i've been at the top and i've been in shit
i don't know where i'm going
but i don't know what i'd do if i stayed.
