I guess sometimes I want to follow the air
And be nowhere at all, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
And float over the storm
Sometimes I want to let my voice
Find a body made of stone, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
As solid as a wall
I want nothing and I want it all
I want the silence and to let it roar
Can't figure, figure it at all
I try to sing, I come undone
But I'm still standing
Lai, lai, lai, lai, lai, lai
Lai, lai, lai, lai, lai, lai
Lai, lai, lai, lai, lai
Lai, lai, lai, lai, lai, lai
Who's out there with a set of big brass balls
To face up to it all, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Laugh in sadness
All those fakers want to speak in drawl
But it takes some rock 'n' roll, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
To meet Ivan the terrible
I want nothing and I want it all
I want the silence, and to let it roar
Can't figure, figure it at all
I try to sing, I come undone
But I'm still standing
Lai, lai, lai, lai, lai, lai
Lai, lai, lai, lai, lai, lai
Lai, lai, lai, lai, lai
Lai, lai, lai, lai, lai, lai
Lai, lai, lai, lai, lai, lai
Lai, lai, lai, lai, lai, lai
Lai, lai, lai, lai, lai
Lai, lai, lai, lai, lai, lai
You came into my life like a cannonball
You broke my pride, you cut my claws
You called my lies, you smashed my walls
I loved you, why'd you put me to the sword?
I try to sing, I come undone
But I'm still standing
Lai, lai, lai, lai, lai, lai
Lai, lai, lai, lai, lai, lai
Lai, lai, lai, lai, lai
Lai, lai, lai, lai, lai, lai
Lai, lai, lai, lai, lai, lai
Lai, lai, lai, lai, lai, lai
Lai, lai, lai, lai, lai
Lai, lai, lai, lai, lai, lai
Lai, lai, lai, lai, lai, lai
Lai, lai, lai, lai, lai, lai
Lai, lai, lai, lai, lai
Lai, lai, lai, lai, lai, lai
Lai, lai, lai, lai, lai, lai
Lai, lai, lai, lai, lai, lai
Lai, lai, lai, lai, lai
Lai, lai, lai, lai, lai, lai
