lyrics

Here I go around again
diving into the deepest end.
I hear you wince
just beyond the surface.

Deeper down I sink or swim--
you just can't tell and wince again,
but I won't drown.
I'll simply drink it down.

You say, "No, just don't--
just don't ah, ah, ah!"
You say, "No just don't--"
I say, "Oh, my god!"
But it's no occasion.
I try my luck while you try my patience.

Here I go around again,
another problem's reared its head.
I'll make my own
philosopher's stone.

But you don't trust my alchemy--
a toxic lead can never be
turned into gold,
and I should drop the load.

You say, "No, just don't--
Just don't, ah, ah, ah!"
You say, "No, just don't--"
I say, "Oh, my God!"
But it's no occasion.
I try my luck while you try my patience.

Alright, I'm scared--you're scaring me!
You dim the daylights out of me...

Till I can't see...
I can't see...
I can't see...

Once more unto the breach, dear friends!
I know the means, I know the ends.
This ain't my first
rodeo.

Just imagine my surprise--
you plead your case with eyes so wide
they can't perceive
that I just took my leave.

You say--
Stop right there, I know what you'll say.
But you keep talking anyway.
It's no, occasion.
I try my luck while you try my patience.
