(Parfitt/Bown)
When the light hits your eyes in the morning
And the fight to survive is braking you down
You see a chance for an answer to fill the empty s***es
But you still don't know what to do
You're too close to the ground
When the night closes in like an old friend
And the last of your pills is taking you down
You know the doctor's prescription ain't working like it used to
But you still don't know what to do
You're too close to the ground
Still going down
All your life you were waiting
Just to pass up the dream and leave my town
You blew your chance for an answer to fill the empty s***es
Oh, you just don't know what to do
You're too close to the ground
Too close to the ground
Still going down
When the light hits your eyes in the morning
And the fight to survive is braking you down
You see a chance for an answer to fill the empty s***es
But you still don't know what to do
You're too close to the ground
When the night closes in like an old friend
And the last of your pills is taking you down
You know the doctor's prescription ain't working like it used to
But you still don't know what to do
You're too close to the ground
Still going down
All your life you were waiting
Just to pass up the dream and leave my town
You blew your chance for an answer to fill the empty s***es
Oh, you just don't know what to do
You're too close to the ground
Too close to the ground
Still going down
