It slipped my mind
 And for a time
 I [bad word] free

world of trouble
 Silent double
pawn unto a queen

I laugh now
 But later's not so easy
I've gotta stop
 The will is strong
 But the flesh is weak
I guess that's it
 I've made my bed
 And I lie in it

I'm still hanging on
 Bird upon a wire
I fall between the waves

 Ooooohhhhhhh

I avoid your gaze
 I turn out of phase
 pawn unto a queen

 Ooooohhhhhhh

 I laugh now
 But later's not so easy
 I gotta stop
The will is strong
 But the flesh is weak
I guess that's it
 I've made my bed
 And I lie in it

But it's eating me up
 But it's eating me up
 It's eating me up (If I get free of all my snares and my nets)
 It's eating me up (If I get free of all my snares and my nets)
 It's eating me up (If I get free of all my snares and my nets)
