[Verse]
 
             
You lost faith

        
 in the human 

spirit
         
You walk aroun

         
d like a ghost
            
Your star-span

     
gled heart
            
Took a train f

       
or the coast

             
When you shine

          
 you're a hill

top mansion
         
So how'd you l

        
ose the light?
            
Was it blown b

      
y the wind,
            
In the still o

      
f the night?

We're up again

st the wall


[Chorus]


Up against the

 wall
 -          
    There's so

              
mething dying 

    - 
on the street

When they knock you down
 -         
    You're gon

              
na get back on

 -  
 your feet
              
              

              
              

             
     (No you c

           
an't stop now)


[Verse]

             
I always saw y

        
ou as a kind o

f keeper
         
A mother to a 


child
            
But your boys 

           
have grown sof

t
            
And your girls

            -
 have gone wil

 
d

             
From the blue 

      
ridge to the b

lack hills
         
To the redwood

  
 sky
            
The season may

 
 pass
            
But the dream 

       
doesn't die

Why did you dr

op the ball?


CHORUS (strum like intro)


Up against the

 wall

     (No you c

When they brea

     ('Cause y

    The venom 

and the overfl

ow
