Every 7 years your black cats and broken mirrors reach their expiration date Every 7 years you get a brand new body cuz your cells they regenerate Every 7 years you get the 7 year itch cuz you need a little change of scene Don't just scratch the surface, gotta dig a little deeper See you're living in this world like its a pinball machine Who's it gonna be? Who's gonna push your little buttons Send you rocketing into the abyss? Cuz when you're gone you're long gone, honey And you don't leave a trace or a change of address If you're gonna be stupid, you better be tough Quit looking for loopholes to get through the hard stuff If your excuses don't kill ya I guess you're strong enough To stick it out. I guess you'll stick it out You can run away if you want to but you know that you'll never really make an escape Not even if you walk a mile in Hermes tennis shoes or borrow one of Superman's capes Cuz that's the funny thing the tragic thing about our fear We take it with us everywhere we go You gotta turn around and face it, face to face You gotta grab it by the collar, smack it smack dab square in the nose Confrontation, resignation, sweet salvation, Hell, Damnation either way it's difficult But if you keep doing the same old thing, you're gonna get the same result If you're gonna be stupid, you better be tough Quit looking for loopholes to get through the hard stuff If your excuses don't kill ya I guess you're strong enough To stick it out. I guess you'll stick it out You'll never get anywhere leaving well enough alone Nothin' lifts a heavy heart like some elbow grease and a funny bone Between the worry and regret, you're stuck there in the middle You can't take it anymore, I guess you gotta give a little If you're gonna be stupid, you better be tough Quit looking for loopholes to get through the hard stuff If your excuses don't kill ya I guess you're strong enough To stick it out. I guess you'll stick it out
