Second Time Around - Lyrics - Carbon/silicon

There's a story to tell of heaven and hell There're ladders to climb and snakes to decline With a ball and chain you come back again But it won't mean a thing if the chain don't swing You've been up and you've been round You walked every street of this old town But they're not going to bring you down No, not the second time around Well, there's an apple to bite before you can take flight And affairs of the heart before you can start Rules to break and promises to make Struggle to win, then you can begin You've been up and you've been round You walked every street of this old town But they're not going to bring you down No, not the second time around For so long, so high, as you reach for the sky When you get your wings, don't be surprised if the wings don't fly So try to walk the walk and to talk the talk You got a message to send, you'll get there in the end You've been up and you've been round You walked every street of this old town But they're not going to bring you down No, not the second time around For so long, so high, as you reach for the sky When you get your wings, don't be surprised if the wings don't fly You've been up and you've been round You walked every street of this old town But they're not going to bring you down No, not the second time around
