[Verse 1]
I woke the same
As any other day except
A voice was in my head
It said, "Seize the day
Pull the trigger, drop the blade
And watch the rolling heads"
The day I tried to live
I stole a thousand beggars' change
And gave it to the rich, yeah
The day I tried to win
I dangled from the power lines
And let the martyrs stretch, yeah

[Chorus]
Singing, one more time around
One more time around
One more time around
One more time around
The day I tried to live, yeah

[Verse 2]
The words you say
Never seem to live up to
The ones inside your head
The lives we make
Never seem to ever get us
Anywhere but dead
The day I tried to live
I wallowed in the blood and mud
With all the other pigs, yeah
[Chorus]
Singing, one more time around
One more time around
One more time around
One more time around
The day I tried to live, yeah
I tried

[Scat]

[Chorus]
Singing, one more time around
One more time around
One more time around
One more time around
The day I tried to live, yeah

[Outro]
Just like you
Just like you
One more time around
One more time around
