[Verse 1]
Watch out now
Take care, beware of falling swingers
Dropping all around you
The pain that often mingles in your fingertips
Beware of darkness
[Verse 2]
Watch out now
Take care, beware of the thoughts that linger
Winding up inside your head
The hopelessness around you in the dead of night
Beware of sadness
[Bridge]
It can hit you
It can hurt you
Make you sore and what is more
That is not what you are here for, no no
[Verse 3]
Watch out now
Take care, beware of soft shoe shufflers
Dancing down the sidewalks
As each unconscious sufferer wanders aimlessly
Beware of Maya
[Verse 4]
Watch out now
Take care, beware of greedy leaders
They take you where you should not go
While weeping Atlas Cedars
They just want to grow, grow and grow
Beware of darkness
Watch out
Watch out now
Take care, beware of falling swingers
Dropping all around you
The pain that often mingles in your fingertips
Beware of darkness
[Verse 2]
Watch out now
Take care, beware of the thoughts that linger
Winding up inside your head
The hopelessness around you in the dead of night
Beware of sadness
[Bridge]
It can hit you
It can hurt you
Make you sore and what is more
That is not what you are here for, no no
[Verse 3]
Watch out now
Take care, beware of soft shoe shufflers
Dancing down the sidewalks
As each unconscious sufferer wanders aimlessly
Beware of Maya
[Verse 4]
Watch out now
Take care, beware of greedy leaders
They take you where you should not go
While weeping Atlas Cedars
They just want to grow, grow and grow
Beware of darkness
