"No Way Out"

This day started too early
Someone's looking to bring me down
You never can tell when trouble
Trouble's gonna come around

And there's no way out
No way of going next in line
You could set up a fence
Put up a bench in line

Try as you might, you're meek
And trouble, that person you would know
One thing leads to another
Sign of opposing stars
Friction in the wind
You forget how gentle you are

You know I try to keep out of sight
And out of danger
On the cover at a palm's sweat
But I take on anybody
Stop trouble getting in my way

This day started too early
Someone's looking to bring me down
You never can tell when trouble
Trouble's gonna come around

One thing leads to another
Sign of opposing stars
There's friction in the wind
And you forget how gentle you are
Friction in the wind
And you forget how gentle you are
