It's a tragedy in waiting   when something's on my mind   And it's hard enough for me to carry on      It's a tragedy in waiting when something's on my mind   And it's hard enough for me to carry on   Call it pleasure if you lie   But believe me when I say a busy mind will learn to change it all      It's not like I am asking for the world to fall apart   I know that it's eventually to come      Sometimes we might fall   Stand up taller   Someday we may graduate into a perfect state of mind      Have you ever left your suitcase open long after you land?   And you're scared to fold away all of your clothes   Destiny may wait, but the present day's at hand   They forgot to tell me how to end this show      Could it be that I'm the one who tied my hands behind my back?   I know that it is possible for now      Sometime we might fall   Stand up taller   Someday we may graduate into a perfect state of mind      I've got a mind to wonder which tragedy is following me   I've got a mind to wonder which tragedy is following me   I've got a mind that wonders off in search of something   And I'm gonna get there      Sometimes we might fall   Stand up taller   Someday we may fall away   Sometime we might crawl   Stand up taller   Someday we may graduate into a perfect state of mind
