Take another blow and don’t get caught weeping
Everybody knows you’re playing for keeps
Everybody knows the mountain is steep
Take another blow and climb up that tree now
Beep goes the machine
Some things the smaller the worse
Best take this fall in reverse
Why don’t you give me a call
I’ll post this letter to you
Got nothing better to do
When did this world get so small
Everybody knows you’re playing for keeps
Everybody knows that mountain is steep
Take another blow and don’t get caught weeping
Weeping
Everybody knows you’re playing for keeps
Everybody knows that mountain is steep
Take another blow and climb up that tree now
Beep goes the machine
Everybody knows you’re playing for keeps
Everybody knows the mountain is steep
Take another blow and climb up that tree now
Beep goes the machine
Now the clowns and the tourists
Have gone for good
All the sounds
All the promise
Misunderstood
‘Cause when the dogs
And the babies
Climb the dragon
Tree
All the clowns and the tourists
Will disagree
‘Cause sip a good conversation
Like some vintage wine
Be the pride of the nation
In the grand design
They announce that the cure is
The only track
And so the clowns and the tourists
Sure won’t be
Back
Everybody knows you’re playing for keeps
Everybody knows the mountain is steep
Take another blow and don’t get caught weeping
Everybody knows you’re playing for keeps
Everybody knows the mountain is steep
Take another blow and don’t get caught weeping
Weeping
Everybody knows you’re playing for keeps
Everybody knows the mountain is steep
Take another blow and climb up that tree now
Beep goes the machine
Everybody knows you’re playing for keeps
Everybody knows the mountain is steep
Take another blow and don’t get caught weeping
Weeping
Everybody knows you’re playing for keeps
Everybody knows the mountain is steep
Take another blow and climb up that tree
Beep goes the machine
