You come around with your eyes in the moon
Lines on your face, you’re getting old too soon
Scandalize and they criticize
Daddy’s up late pacing around the room
Out of your mind and too cruel to be kind
Man in the mirror showing all the signs
Stay out of touch just a bit too much
You spit on the sun just to dull up the shine
The secrets you keep make you talk so proud
The talk in your sleep gives away how you feel right now
Kissin’ the ground you walk on
Kissin’ the world good-bye
Kissin’ the ground you walk on
What kind of fool was I
Cracks in the ice from a heavy load
Another day, another episode
Hell-bent, defiant, you’re a dandelion
Caught in the wind at a fork in the road
You’re singing a song that I can’t make out
I’m singing along can you hear me, hear me shout
Kissin’ the ground you walk on
Kissin’ the world good-bye
Kissin’ the ground you walk on
Time’s running out and so is hope my friend
You’re all uptight thinking you’ve reached the end
You push and you push like a bird in the bush
To get into the light you gotta break from the bend
Kissin’ the ground you walk on
Kissin’ the world good-bye
Kissin’ the ground you walk on
