Pariah dogs and wandering madmen   Barking at strangers and speaking in tongues   The ebb and flow of tidal fortune   Electrical changes are charging up the young      It's a far cry from the world we thought we'd inherit   It's a far cry from the way we thought we'd share it   You can almost feel the current flowing   You can almost see the circuits blowin'      One day I feel I'm on top of the world   And the next it's falling in on me   I can get back on, I can get back on   One day I feel I'm ahead of the wheel   And the next it's rollin' over me   I can get back on, I can get back on      Whirlwind life of faith and betrayal   Rising angle, fall back and repeat   Slow degrees on the dark horizon   Full moon rising lays silver at your feet      It's a far cry from the world we thought we'd inherit   It's a far cry from the way we thought we'd share it   You can almost feel the current flowing   You can almost see the circuits blowin'      One day I feel I'm on top of the world   And the next it's falling in on me   I can get back on, I can get back on   One day I feel I'm ahead of the wheel   And the next it's rollin' over me   I can get back on, I can get back on      It's a far cry from the world we thought we'd inherit   (You can almost see the serpent growin')   (You can almost feel the planets glowin')      One day I feel I'm on top of the world   And the next it's falling in on me   I can get back on, I can get back on   One day I feel I'm ahead of the wheel   And the next it's rollin' over me   I can get back on, I can get back on      One day I fly through a crack in the sky   And the next it's falling in on me   I can get back on, I can get back on   Ah-oh-oh-oh! I can get back on, I can get back on
