You speak of places I´ve never been
You make me hear words I don´t know
Make me see faces like in a dream
And people swallow ever word

On and on - day by day
Life´s gettin´ less and slips away
Oh we´re so easy to abandon
On and on you´re sowing words
That never hurt in any way
Oh we´re so easy to abandon

From time to time you´re placing a tiny piece of hope
To blind the hopeless to wash away their thoughts
So will you keep us from stealing when honour´s givin´ up?
Or do you offer distraction?
Will you hand out drugs?

On and on - day by day
Life´s gettin´ less and slips away
Oh we´re so easy to abandon
On and on you´re sowing words
That never hurt in any way
Oh we´re so easy to abandon

How can I keep myself from shrinking?
How can I prove I´m outta blood?
And little time is all I´m drinking
How can I make you stop?
Step by step it´s gettin´ sore
And all what´s mine is gettin´ yours
Step by step we´re losin´ ground
Step by step
