Randy Newman The Whammer Strikes Out song lyrics

Live another day, climb a little higher

Find another reason to stay

Ashes in your hands, mercy in your eyes

If you're searching for a silent sky

You won't find it here

Look another way

You won't find it here

So die another day

The coldness of his words, the message in his silence

"Face the candle to the wind"

The distance in my voice isn't leaving you a choice

So if you're looking for a time to run away

You won't find it here

Look another way

You won't find it here

So try another day

They took pictures of our dreams

Ran to hide behind the stairs

And said maybe

When it's right for you, they'll fall

But if they don't come down

Resist the need to pull them in

And throw them away

Better to save the mystery

Than surrender to the secret, no

You won't find it here

Look another way

You won't find it here

So try another day
