lyrics

Every thing's changing but Sally's still trying
She gets up at five, just ahead of the morning
Feathers are flying
You won't catch her falling behind

Swinging from trees it's a cold city jungle
Take what you need or get left in the rubble
Don't look behind
It's just dust and a pile of dreams

Then it’s back in the ring
Batter up taking a swing
Walk toward the beast and get
Back in the saddle again

Every day Sally's supposed to look younger
Can't let them see desperation or hunger
Feathers are flying
But everything’s running on time

Swinging from trees but the branches seem higher
Afraid to look down, situation is dire
Falling behind
Just like dust and a pile of dreams

Then it’s back in the ring
Batter up taking a swing
Walk toward the beast and get
Back in the saddle again

Just like an hour glass glued to the table, time passing by
Just like an hour glass glued to the table, time passing, time passing by

Sometimes when Sally feels sad in the evening
She remembers a girl with a paintbrush and reason
Feathers were flying
Couldn't catch her then if you tried

Then it’s back in the ring
Batter up taking a swing
Walk toward the beast and get
Back in the saddle again
