So far it's safe to go out, the boys have their knifes out
I said I'm gonna do this for you anyway, one balloon one cannon ball
This city's got a hold on you, the electricity is getting stronger

(Stronger)
A friction on my head but...
(Stalemate)


Why do we compromise our dreams?
(Stalemate, it's a stalemate)

And on and on it goes
(On and on)
Oh and on and on and on and on and on

(Stalemate, it's a stalemate)
For once in my life I love to feel my instincts sweeten
(Stalemate, it's a stalemate)

And I always seem to owe you an apology
(Stalemate, it's a stalemate)


(On and on)
We diminish our self-respect, until there is none left
I said I've got to do this for you anyway, I jump you summersault

This city's got a hold on you, the electricity is getting stronger
(Stronger)
A theory of a knife fight

(Stalemate)

Why do we compromise our dreams?

(Stalemate, it's a stalemate)
And on and on it goes
(On and on)

Oh and on and on and on and on and on
(Stalemate, it's a stalemate)
For once in my life I love to feel my instincts sweeten

(Stalemate, it's a stalemate)
And I always seem to owe you an apology
(Stalemate, it's a stalemate)


Why do we compromise our dreams?
