Every Now and Then

[Verse 1]
All my oldest friends have worked out a new way
To make it all go on, to forge out a new day
But I'm just sitting here
Wondering why I can't get it right

[Verse 2]
It hits me like a hearse, drivin' sideways
And now I'm feeling worse throughout my days
I'm only lookin' forward
To find some kind of light in the tunnel now

[Pre-Chorus]
Throw all my plans to the wind
Even if I'm back here again

[Chorus]
Every now and then, you come up for fresh air
Every now and then, you fall in the dirt, yeah
Every now and then, you realise that you're only a mortal man
Every now and then, you begin to suffer
Every now and then, you had about enough, yeah
Every now and then, all you really need is a heroine

[Verse 3]
I think I need a change, that's the way it is
I tried to live with blame, I'm so sick of this
The world goes up in flames
So many of us fighting for the flimsiest things

[Verse 4]
The city's like a dog, like a greyhound
The people still believe as they run through the beeping sounds
Their mind is going mad
Not getting any closer to homeward bound

[Pre-Chorus]
Throw all my plans to the wind
Even if I'm back here again

[Chorus]
Every now and then, you come up for fresh air
Every now and then, you fall in the dirt, yeah
Every now and then, you realise that you're only a mortal man
Every now and then, you begin to suffer
Every now and then, you had about enough, yeah
Every now and then, all you really need is a heroine
Every now and then all you really need is a heroine
