Somethin' that makes me
think about it all the time
always just behind there
haunting messin' up my mind
something that takes me
to the place I lose control
Where there is no one to hold me
or own my soul
I can get crazy
Travelin' round too fast to see
hiding just beyond perception
that would be me
It's how it makes me
shakes and tingles through my spine
playin' my life by rolling dice
tears to my eyes
(chorus)
perception - shining on me
affection - holding on to me
obsession - i just can't break free
perception - shining on me
possession - holding on to me
infatuation - i just can't break free
It's not the first time
workin' my way against the grain
everyday dreaming an everlasting stream
it's not the last time
we all need a second chance
playin' life with bishops and knights
on goes the line
why are they trippin'?
I am just an average man
one alone... sometimes right
sometimes doin' wrong
wherever the four winds
may blow me I will go
only Under Influence
(repeat chorus)
