Everybody loves you— everybody needs you Everybody wants you— everybody sees you
Aren‘t you lonely?
Everybody loves you— everybody needs you Everybody, everybody, everybody, everybody (It‘s another man‘s heart, it‘s another man‘s dream It‘s another man‘s life) (X2)
I try to believe— but you‘re making it really hard I try to have a dream— but you‘re making it really hard
What do we do when we‘re overflowing? Where do wе go when it turns around? What do we think when thе world‘s burning? What do we find when we‘re underground? I don‘t pray— saving it up for a rainy day
I can't pray— and it's never really my journey that way You had me feeling, I was special Thinking I was special You— had— me dancing on the mountaintops You— had— me dancing by the riverside Dancing in the valley— dancing on the tall buildings You had me, dancing with the children You had me
Everybody loves you, they do (X3) Try to emulate you, that's true A bit of imitation, that‘s fine Some re-evaluation— in time Some re-evaluation— in time
Everybody loves you— everybody needs you
What do we do when we‘re overflowing? Where do we go when we're turned around? What do we think when the world‘s burning? What do we find when we‘re underground?
Taking it down to the big raw basics Taking it down to the bottom line Calling it out to whoever listens Givin' it up ‘cause it ain't mine I can‘t pray— saving it up for a rainy day
And I always imagined that I was in control The signs always pointed to the things I used to know And everything that made me feel that life was going fine Was just a silly dream until the clock was out of time
It‘s a light that I refuse to see I don‘t know what‘s come over me But I do appreciate the fact That you may not be coming back
It‘s another man‘s life that I choose to live It‘s another man‘s world, I got nothing to give It‘s another man‘s anthem, it‘s another man‘s song It‘s another man‘s shadow that was way too long
It‘s another man‘s passion, it‘s another man‘s light It‘s another man‘s blood and another man‘s fight It‘s another man‘s dream that I can‘t accept It‘s another delusion that I can‘t respect
It‘s another man‘s vision that I can‘t protect It‘s another man‘s thoughts that I try to collect Off the borrowed labors of another man‘s sweat It‘s an inspiration I can never forget
I‘ll keep searching for a 1000 ways To fill that cup that can never be filled With a 1000 holes that can never be fixed And a 1000 flaws in a 1000 places And a 1000 bodies and a 1000 faces And 1000 words that only fill up spaces For a bright and fleeting moment And the broken things stay broken
I want to believe— but you‘re making it really hard I tried to have a dream— but you‘re making it really hard
Taking it down to the big raw basics Taking it down to the bottom line Calling it out to whoever listens Givin‘ it up cause it ain't mine I can‘t pray— saving it up for a rainy day I can‘t pray— I wouldn‘t even know which words to say
