Courage Songtext
von Peter Gabriel

I′ve been beating my head against a rubber wall
I've been jumping on a ladder trying to make it fall
Been diving off the cliff from the highest rock
Where is the rock?
Living underground in a wooden box

Riding the changes
And the world rearranges fast
This is sink or swim
Sure as hell know what state I′m in
Riding the changes
And my life rearranges fast
Always the same surrender
Always left with the tender heart


Relentless drum beat
Beating out rest to the night
Streets are all empty
People are running
Shouting, "Big bull is coming"
Don't see no big bull at all
Oh, oh, oh
Cops are pulled by the horns
Listen to the rumble from beneath the ground
I'm trying to get to sleep, but there′s that angry sound
All this stamping and the kicking, don′t know what I'm gonna do
Heavy ventilating vents are popping out
Popping out, popping out, popping out, boom

Riding the changes
And the world rearranges fast
This is sink or swim
Sure as hell know what state I′m in
Riding the changes
And my life rearranges fast
Always the same surrender
Always left with the tender heart

This is making me nervous
I've got to admit it
You′re out in the open
I stand so committed
But there ain't no escaping it
And here it comes, this is it
This is it
This is it
The dead, she′s dead, she's out, she's out
Popping out, popping out, popping out, popping out, popping out
Popping out, popping out, popping out, popping out, boom
