lyrics

Hey everybody look who’s here, I’m back in the saddle
I got a little bit rattled and every day’s been a battle
Just to get back to this natural flow, became static
I think it’s high time I cranked this game up
The next level is becoming detrimental to my well being
All I can do is soldier on a little further up the hill
No time to stand still, time is of the essence
And I think I need a pill, or something to control me
Stop me going under, there ain’t no room for blunders
I gotta keep heading for the summit of this mountain
Bathe in this fountain of knowledge
There’s so much left to learn
With every corner I turn, I’m feeling the burn
And I’m careful with every single penny I earn
But don’t show me concern, I just need a friend
Who knows that I’m gonna be ok in the end

Turn that dial clockwise if ya need it a little bit louder

It’s very nice of ya to offer advice but don’t bother
I’m so focused that I can’t hear anybody
I’m so head strong, pig headed, call it what ya like
I’ll probably do it my way then tell ya, you were right all along
Then I’ll admit that I was wrong
I’ll tell you all about it in my next song
But right now all I can do is carry on with this one while it flows
So before you go and throw a spanner in the works
Just tell me that it works, trust that it’ll work when it’s finished
Feed me the spinach before I diminish into nothing but an itch on ya skin
Yeah, I get your attention for a minute, scratch me I’m forgotten
Back to the bottom of the hill, well if that’s the way it’s gonna be then
I’m gonna keep getting under ya skin again and again and again

Turn that dial clockwise if ya need it a little bit louder, yeah

Turn that dial clockwise if ya need it a little bit louder
Turn that dial clockwise if ya need it a little bit louder, yeah
