I don't know how it works It comes and goes a tide beneath the surf A tide that takes you of to sea You loose all sense of reality Waves come crashing across the rear And knocks you of your feet But you keep on - keeping on Lightning strikes and sets a spark Flames come swirling lighting up the da - a -ark You got one chance it's time to make a move Competitions fierce you either win or you loose A guiding lantern across sky Leads you on your way And you keep on - keeping on Stay the course and hold your ground Bite your tongue But don't look down You just keep on - keeping on You just keep on - keeping on I don't know how it works A multitude of things you can't rehearse You take a punch and then you take a blow Feed your thirst with the crops you sow Wake up early pay your dues And go to bed confused But you keep on - keeping on
