They say everything is worth a try
and they bear down with that light in their eyes
Hope springs relentless
Though I beg off, though I say please
It raises me up when I'd rather stay on my knees
But there are things that hope can never know
Like the feeling of spinning out in the snow
You were marking off the mile signs
Now the ground is gone but space abides
In that metal centrifuge
You feel all those guts you rarely use
