Isn't life a mystery
This little ball of mercury
You push it 'round your open palm
Look for a space where you belong
You can't hold it
No matter how you try you can't let it go
No, you can't hold it
Its too big for you to hold onto
Its holding you
Its holding you
Forty years behind your back
And overweight insomniac
If you could sleep then you would dream
Guitars would play the hero's theme
You can't hold it
No matter how you try you can't let it go
No, you can't hold it
Its too big for you to hold onto
Its holding you
Its holding you
Then it finally hits a nerve
You don't get what you deserve
It wraps around you like a glove
This deep and unrequited love
You can't hold it
No matter how you try you can't let it go
No, you can't hold it
Its too big for you to hold onto
Its holding you
Its holding you
