Tell me something, girl
Are you happy in this modern world?
Or do you need more?
Is there somethin' else you're searching for?

I'm falling
In all the good times I find myself
Longin' for change
And in the bad times I fear myself

Tell me something, boy
Aren't you tired tryin' to fill that void?
Or do you need more?
Ain't it hard keeping it so hardcore?

I'm falling
In all the good times I find myself
Longing for a change
And in the bad times I fear myself

I'm off the deep end, watch as I dive in
I'll never meet the ground
Crash through the surface, where they can't hurt us
We're far from the shallow now

In the sha-ha, sha-hallow
In the sha-ha, sha-la-la-la-low
In the sha-ha, sha-hallow
We're far from the shallow now

I'm off the deep end, watch as I dive in
I'll never meet the ground
Crash through the surface, where they can't hurt us
We're far from the shallow now

In the sha-ha, shallow
In the sha-ha, sha-la-la-la-low
In the sha-ha, shallow
We're far from the shallow now

    @MercurialIrish I am over 60 and my older sister made sure I was fully exposed to everything rock and roll. Thank you Sis! Went over the album listings for Woodstock. You know what? Most are not very deep or meaningful. What made them meaningful for most of us was the setting, what was happening around us. Give credit where credit is due. When I heard this song in the theater, it brought tears to my eyes-and I really didn't know why? My hearing is starting to go, but something made it through to my brain. I'm not a big GAGA fan, but this song is good on many levels. I hope she returns to this simple and deep type of song. Kudos to Gaga, Mark Ronson, Anthony Rossomando, and Andrew Wyatt, I am still picking this song apart.
