[Verse 1] Shake me down, not a lot of people left around Who knows now? Softly laying on the ground Oooh not a lot of people left around oooh oooh [Verse 2] In my life I have seen people walk into the sea Just to find memories plagued by constant misery Their eyes cast down, fixed upon the ground Their eyes cast down [Chorus 1] I'll keep my eyes fixed on the sun [Verse 3] Shake me down, cut my head on a silver cloud Broken sound, softly laying on the ground Oooh not a lot of people left around oooh oooh [Verse 4] In my past, bittersweet, there's no love between the sheets Taste the blood, broken dreams, lonely times in deed With eyes cast down, fixed upon the ground, with eyes cast down [Chorus 2] I'll keep my eyes fixed on the sun Turn back now, it's time for me to let go Way down, had to find a place to lay low Lamp shade, turned around into a light post [Bridge] Walk around the corner, never saw it coming, still I try to make a move it almost stopped me from belief I don't want to know the future, I'm like Rolling Thunder Even on a cloudy day Even on a cloudy day Even on a cloudy day Even on a cloudy day Even on a cloudy day Even on a cloudy day Even on a cloudy day [Chorus 3] I'll keep my eyes fixed on the- I'll keep my eyes fixed on the- I'll keep my eyes fixed on the sun [Outro] Shake me down, not a lot of people left around Oooh oooh
