D-DU-UDU
 X 2
Well  this stone  that I have swallowed
 isn't going  down  so well,
 and this road that  I have followed
 is leading me  to hell.
 You said  it didn't matter
 but I think  you're  a liar.
 Is this  one of you talents
 that stokes  the  very fire.
It  burns you.
 Chorus.
 Each time you  try to live,
 and the Earth will  turn below you,
 the pressure  is building and something has to  give.
 X 2
And  when I build  you a steeple
you  say  it's  incomplete.
Cause  you need the  whole cathedral
to  satisfy  your  needs.
You're  like  a paper aeroplane
that never  seems to land.
Flying  blind  through anything,
straight  into  the  hand that chokes you.
 Chorus.
Something  has  to  give
Something  has  to give
Something  has  to give
