[Verse 1]
BPoor paper pilot try to get ahead of time
BPin you down, speed it up, just obey the signs
EIn the middle of the night
EDo the cryptic voices ever sleepB?
BHad a mind of your own, gave it all away
BKeeping pace with the pain, never learned to play
EIn the middle of your isolation
EDo you shoot sorrow in your veinBs?
[Chorus]
EAlexander, always worried
BWhy are you in such a huErry?

[Verse 2]
BUp against the wall with a honey-tounged fate
BBleed you dry, burn you out, make you feel the weight
EIn the middle of a secret garden
ESomething inside is breaBking down
[Chorus]
EAlexander, always worried
BWhy are you in such a hurry?

BLiving like a no-man's-lander
BBetter take what they hand ya
BNobody's ever gonna try to understand you
