When you're just a stone's throw fromwhere you started
And you're going nowhere
And everything you had that was solid has melted into air
When you worked your fingers down
To the bone but didn't get your fair share
I'll be there
In there like swimwear
I'm going nowhere
When you feel like you're letting down your friends
and you failed your family
When you're a hedgehog who can't help
Pricking all the people that you meet
When the ravens leave the tower and
you're cowering for fear in the city
I'll be there
In there like swimwear
I'm going nowhere
The empires may fall and the seas may rise
But I'll be at your side by and by
I'm like an armchair
I'm going nowhere
When you took your umbrella in the rain
But you still got soaked
When you worked a 62-hour week
But you ended up broke
And when the world that you thought made sense
Turned out to be a joke
I'll be there
In there like swimwear
I'm going nowhere
When you made your best plans
But somehow they just didn't work
'Cause you were counting on your countrymen
And women not to go berserk
And the future's falling in and all
that's left is a hollow kind of herd
I'll be there
In there like swimwear
I'm going nowhere
Our youth and my beauty may slip away
But I can try and make you happy every day
I'm like your grey hair
I'm going nowhere
Now the tune may falter and the words may slide
But here's hoping that the sentiment survives
I'm like your record player
I'm like an armchair
I'm going nowhere
