When you're just a stone's throw from where you started
And you're going nowhere
When everything you had that was solid
Is melted into air
When you worked your fingers down to the bone
But didn't get your fair share
I'll be there
In there like swimwear
I'm going nowhere
When you feel like you're letting down your friends
And you failed your family
When you're a hedgehog who can't help
Breaking all the people that you meet
When the ravens leave the tower
And you're cowering for fear in the city
I'll be there
In there like swimwear
I'm going nowhere
The empires may fall, and the seas may rise
But I'll be at your side by and by
I'm like an armchair
I'm going nowhere
When you took your umbrella in your rain
But you still got soaked
When you worked a 62-hour week
But you ended up broke
And when the world that you thought made sense
Turned out to be a joke
I'll be there
In there like swimwear
I'm going nowhere
When you made your best plans
But somehow they just didn't work
'Cause you were counting on your countrymen and women
Not to go berserk
And the future's falling in and all that's left
Is a hollow kind of hurt
I'll be there
In there like swimwear
I'm going nowhere
You think my beauty may slip away
But I can try to make you happy everyday
I'm like your gray hair
I'm going nowhere
Now the tune may falter and the words may slide
But here's hoping that the sentiment survives
I'm like your record player
I'm like an armchair
I'm going nowhere
