I was the looser and the fool to cry alone I was the rider in the night to have it all I was hungry and many times too full I came and went and broke somebody's loving rules Nothing's gonna drag me down Nothing's gonna drag me down no more I was the thief woken up in my own bed I was the struggle to find the good way instead I had to move and to stay and to roll I had the dream and still I'm out of control Nothing's gonna drag me down Nothing's gonna drag me down no more He's just knocking at my door She's just banging her head against the bathroom floor They're just knocking at my door Both absurd and dusty and cold Nothing's gonna drag me down Nothing's gonna drag me down no more Nothing's gonna drag me down Nothing's gonna drag me down no more
