v1
Just start at the beginning. It’s another way to end.
Just tell me that you’re happy people. Pretend that you’re my friend.
And just take it slow, as though we cannot go
Any faster. man I’m after all the treasure this life holds.
pre1
And if you can’t figure out then, I’m gonna have to tell you again
That the means, thought they seem so serene, never ever justified a diabolical end.
And if you want to convince me, friend, that we’ve reached the darkest day
ch1
Well even though it doesn’t make the 6 0’clock news this happens everyday.
v2
Now take it back to the beginning, because I haven’t found the end.
But if we start it up, rev it up, twist it, oh baby it’ll happen all over again.
And if we can’t find the time to think about his fight
Then to sin we give in, and thought we think we win we will never make it right.
pre2
And since you can’t figure out then I guess I’ll tell you again
That the key to beginning only comes when we realize that certain things must end.
And if you wonder if we’ll make it through, understand the words I say:
ch2
Cause even though you might feel important, son, this happens everyday.

v3
Take it back to the beginning, because I think we’re near the end.
And we are moving far too fast, for any chance to comprehend.
We need to take it slow, as though we cannot go any faster
Man we’re after too much treasure in this world.
