Made In the Shade

Only once in a day
Only once in awhile
Can I find a newer way
To make a person's day
But what can I say?
Life is even better than the end
I'd give up reality - just to pretend
I'm hanging my a thread
I'm hanging by one hand

(Guitar Break)

As I finally wake up
Shouting seems to take up most of the day
The bass is pounding in my ears
I play along - it takes to long
To smile

(Chorus)
Every single minute of my life
Seems to be a repeat of the last
Another broken record on my floor
There never is a newer past for me

Only once in a week
Only once in a year
Can I find a newer way
To get a little nearer to my dreams
The things I used to wish for
The things I used to ponder
I don't know what's in store for me - too soon
Everything is getting hard to do
